you could probably lower it more than that on 18s as long as its shocks + springs ? and depends on the wide arch kit. u2u boyracer2002, he knows all about big wheels on corsas lol

coilovers, get the 18s to sit nice and low in the arches, its pointless having big arches and then nt hugging the arches

i mean the arch extension would be bonded over the top of the original arch so surely the original arch would need to be cut back to allow for the 18's
