Alloys and Arches

Post by kye_corsa »

I am in the process of buyin a corsa b sxi off my mate. He has 17in alloys on but they rub on the arches when on full lock. Could this be solved by rolling the arches?

mine is sat on 17's but standard height! using 195/40/17 tyres and it only scrubs on big bumps on one side of the rear

what profile are your tyres??? may be worth you looking into gettin some smaller profile tyres

17's are too big for a corsa tbh. they'll fit on standard suspension but they always look crap and you cant lower it.

15's/16's are the ones to go for!...

i have 17's on mine and i think it looks sweet! dont need to lower the car cuz the wheels take up most of the space between the wheel and arches...and they fit perfect...even with a full load..depends on the wheels i suppose:D
