thats the way to be , just leave ur car on ur drive ,as long as it luks mint. my car does catch on 17s but i would do all the work needed for 18s bcoz i want em, but whats the deal with offsets , what part of the wheel does this apply to. | |

quote: 17's wouldnt really catch if you get the correct offset of et45-49. Mines lowered up to 60 mm wit hthe ICE and with a car full it doesnt rub still. I spoke to this bloke that sells alloys, and he once had a corsa lowered 40mm and on 18's on standard arches with offset et49. He cut as much metal as he could, and it still rubbed at the rear. But it might be down to him just fitting springs and the ride was bouncy. I'm fitted 18's soon and i dont care if it rubs, cus i dont drive it much. | |

If so I saw some yesterday and the spokes dont go right up to the rim :o:o doesnt look big, but they look well nice....and they do the correct fitment for the Corsa :D in 18's What r really nice r the Toora T950 and the BK 240.:! dont do the correct offset and width :( [Edited on 26-02-2003 by Kenni] | |

get a 17" design that looks bigger then it is, thats what ive done, set of K2's in 17" and they look like 18s with a nice 60mm drop all round! | |

not all that simple mate, the rear arch needs cutting then welding again. or else you tyres will become extremely smooth on the sidewalls! | |
