Help With Wheels Please

[deano_182003]

Just put sum 17" wheels on my corsa front end is fine back end tends to rub slightly over bumps especially with ppl in the back any way to stop this would appreciate the help please as i dont wanna go down in size thanks

get under the arch with a hammer is your only option mate, and make sure youv got stiffened shocks on the rear, thats about all you can do to be honest

[deano_182003]

yea i was thinking can i buy shocks what will help solve the problem

[deano_182003]

hammer on arch's will this make a visible difference?

[PRICER]

no it wont as corsas are double skinned, PLUS if you remove the plastic arch bit, then tap out that metal work that the plastic arch bolts to then mount the plastic arch bit back on, it will instead of being verticle be slightly at an angle, but at the same time it will give your car a wider look slightly, but tbf 17's on a corsa isnt reeeeeeli the best way to go.

[deano_182003]

nah wouldnt mind swapping em for sum 15's i only got em cos they were cheap if i did the arches tho would it hold plenty of weight and not rub at all? and should i just tap it slighly till it clears the wheel?

dont go taking a hammer to your car if you dont know what your doin, sell your alloys and get some vauxhall ones or any with an offset of 45-49 et.

16s are the biggest i'd go on a corsa, anything else looks daft imo

Matty knows wt hes talkin bout daft things on corsa's. you seen the state of his car boyo!;)

[deano_182003]

hmmm im tempted to give it a go surely cant mess if i tap it out 1cm tops for clearance???

[donnay1991]

i would take plastic arches off and hit it very lightly. VERY lightly. just see how it goes. if it starts to go wrng leave it. dont carry on or it will end up looking like sh!t

hav a think about it mate wot your doin is changin the shape and structure of the car it cud go fine but if it goes wrong u cant jst go to a scrappy and bolt the new parts on. you will have to take it to a body shop or get a new car.

at the end of the day the problem your havin is being caused by the wheels, not the arches

think about it, wot wud jebus do..............

he would indeed, just do what matty said, get rid of them and stick some nice vauxhall wheels on it look much smarter i must admit
