Fitting 17" What REALLY needs to be done?

Post by VKleita »

OK I\'m sure someone has already asked this before but I cant see it

Corsa SRI (Thus 10 mm Drop as standard yea?)

Wanna fit 17\" wheels, what Really needs doing?

Hear stories about bending bodywork, removing inner arch liners.. Other say its OK just needs the rear sorting..

Can anyone give me a bit more concrete answer?

plus it going to look like a bloody tractor until I get it lowered?

I want it to be still drivable over speed bumps etc (There bloody millions of em round here!)
so I was thinking a 40 MM drop sound OK?
Car is ready for new suspension etc anyway so thinking of fitting a kit
Again any advice (Budget is getting a little tight but want something that last!)

Thanks for all your help and effort peeps

Regards,
VK

40mm drop will b fine fronts, should be fine on the rear aslong as the offset it right. for the rear the most u can do is remover the two bolts that hold the rear arches on and stick it back on using tigher seal. read the to following guides they should help u out.
