car lowering advice...

[aaroncooper2010]

Right basicly, I would like to lower my car as low as possible, below is a picture of my car, I have 16 inch wolf race alloys on it.

Thanks in advance!

id go bout 60mm and get the whole kit not just springs. i have 40 mm with just springs and it handles better but still bouncey so hits my wheel arch

[Jimi137]

you wont be able 2 go lower than 40mm unless you change ur wheels m8 - u will need wheels with an offset of between 45 and 49 to go 60mm or lower

[RoNnIe_b]

just a bit of advise jim do u know wot is the smallest alloys i can fit on my corsa

[Jimi137]

well you can go all the way down 2 13" alloys if you can find them. but most people tend to go for 15" wheels on a corsa coupled with 195/45 tyres they look and handle pretty sweet

[donnay1991]

15's Look perfect on corsa. If your wantng it lowered as much as you can go for 13" Steelies Cant remember the dudes name. But on the general discussion topic he has steelies and its like scraping the ground lol

well i have starderd vauxhall alloys 15s and its lowerd 40mm with just springs so its still bouncey and cant have n e one in the bak cus the wheel hits the arch . i want to lower it 60mm the proper way but if it rubs now surly its gonna rub wen i get it lowerd will it matter if my tyres r 205 rather than 195

[Jimi137]

not quite sure why ur vauxhall alloys are rubbing at 40mm.... maybe ur shocks are knackered. but yeh u gotta have 195 tyres on them 205 will slightly rub

wel lads im in the progress of referbin mi cav slabs so ave gat 13" alloys on and have it lowered 95mm at the front and 80mm at the back and it rubs of every speed bump thur is small or big so ad go wif the 15" and jst lower it 60mm mate if you can

[RoNnIe_b]

jim i have standerd shocks with 40mm springs and it only just rubs wen i go over bumps to fast and my alloys or off a cav i think so i think its just the wheels r to wide i mite just knock my arch out a bit

[RoNnIe_b]

yeah my wheels r 205/55/15 so think they r a bit to wide i mit just by or swap some slab alloys

[Jimi137]

yeh its just ur wheels width cuz my m8 has sum cesaros with 195/50 tyres on and lowered 40mm and they didnt rub at all even over bumps with 3 people in the back lol. change the tyres and u'll be fine. and yeh 60mm is a gd height 2 go 2 - you can get over bumps but it still looks low

[RoNnIe_b]

my wheels r 195/55/15 just looked but sum one has told me sum wheels r wide due to the pd or sumit to do with how much the alloy is from the rear drum or sumit as my from wheels dont rub at all

[PRICER]

one minute your wheels are 205 55 and next they're 195 55 which one are they if they're 205 they are to wide and too deep they need to be 45 profile, and if they're 195 55 they're perfect width but probably due to them being deep tyres they're bulging so when your car suspension compresses its catching the sides of the tyres on the car shell, but if they were 45 profile tyres then you wouldnt have that problem. because ALL vauxhall wheels will fit on a corsa with 195 45 tyres on without any scrubbage at all.

i no mate my bad they r 195/55/15 yeah i gess its as u say they r bulging out cheers for ur help n e way ill get some 45s on them
