i bought some 17" wheels today, 205/40/17 BSA 239s

i took em to the tyre shop to have em fitted but they wont go on coz they seem to be hitting the anti roll bar when i do a full lock to the left. so how come every other corsa driver with 17s doesnt seem to have this problem and they also said that my arches cant be rolled out coz of my bodykit i have on the car, i have the full carzone body kit including front/rear bumpers and sideskirts and arches.

why does this always have to happen to me, i must have the worst luck ever, all i wanted was for my 17s to go on

how can i sort this out, do i have to change my body kit?
who else has got 17s with the same problem of hitting their wheel on the rollbar with a full lock to the left?

offset determines how far the wheel sits from the hub and therefore the rim edge aswell so it matters alot!

When i rang up for some bsa wheels highest offset was ET40.

So i didnt buy em. People will never listen about offsetts and then things like this happne and you dont wanna say we told you so.

i'd of thought the reason it is hitting the anti-roll bar is because the wheel sticks in too far, so spacers may help

you may need spacers mate. Surely the garage you brought them from should have told you they wont fit without a fight?

Spacers may sacrafice some handling but you should be able to make them fit. *i think*

i could ahve got some BSA 282's in ET 45, but as ive got psg arches ive got the same wheels but hi-octane ones in et40, so they fill my arches and still no scrub. Dont know about hitting the antiroll bar though

Rich at midas has always had et40 wheels and theve been fine!

thats exactly wot has happened to me, was ur tyre hitting the anto roll bar? so did u just give up and get some different alloys and what offset have u got now? and is the tyre 7.5"?
