Naa mine fitted no probz so you should be ok, i thought about getting my cage powdercoated but i wouldnt know what colour to go, would probz end up the same as the car or textured black, maybe 1 day when i get bored again, 2moro's plans will be to lower the front, i know i'll be ripping the splitter off all the time but after a lot of thought i decided i dont care, i can allways push it back on,

Dude get one of these! Yes its Citroen but its cheap, looks great, works just as well. Its the small things that matter, looks soooo much butter on my VR6 than the standard one.

Yea i deffo need to sort that out, its way to big,

Here are pics of the arches, The wheels dont really stick out much, but i think if i went any more on the back they would look daft from behind because of the gap from wheel to wheel on the inside,





Also dropped the front about 10mm 2day, Then ripped the splitter off when i backed into the garage, grrr...

awesome!!!
my rear arches are close to standard but not quite as i have had new sections welded in and cant roll them now
got camber shims on too so hoping wont hit the lip and bend the rim!
goin to try 10mm spacers on rear first. are yours hubcentric? how much and where from? seen ones on ebay for £100 plus
8x17 et25 here cambered


pre shimmed

hit arch a few times

Mine were £58 from venom, went and picked em up, Thats 2 hubcentric spacers and a set of longer bolts,

Lookin at your pics now i wouldnt mind a set of shims and some bigger spacers, i'll wait until i flog the corsa first,

If you put 10mm spacers on the lm's they will sit in the same place as the wheels you have now anyway, it will make the lm's et25, maybe got for 15mm each side,

was lookin at awesome site earlier, they have section for longer bolts?

lookin at your earlier pics think you needed spacers up front as your brake pads were thick so stuck out more, happened to me when i had new pads fitted

Yep 5mm to stop the pads touching, At least i must have a fair bit left on the pads then,

Not sure what they do over there, its nearer to me than venom but i really dont like their service, so i go to venom, Miles better
