17 inch momo racer's Deep dish 7.5 inch wide 35et offset.

with 205/40/17 tyres


Is it a major arch work job ???

Would i have to flare the arches out? or even get the psg wide arches and fit them??


What would you peeps suggest ??

Any comments would be great!

You'd need to have NO arches if they are 7.5" wide and ET 35!! It would be cheaper to get some with the correct offset than how much it would cost you in custom bodywork to try and force them under the arches!! Its miles out mate but one option could be to get the hub mateing face machined down to the correct offset but this could weaken the wheel too much and they are still 7.5" wide which is not good for corsa's!
