wheels and lowering help

I would like to put 15 inch alloys on my car and have a drop of about 35-40 how much would it cost to get the springs fitted? and do you think i would have to get any arch work done ?

youd be looking at around Â£50 to get them fitted and you definatly shouldnt need any arch work you should be able to drop it 60mm and have 15s but i think you could put 16s on

you can put 16\'s on with a 60 drop without archwork as long as you use 195/40 profile tyres. get anyone in the back tho and it\'ll rub like a bitch

Funny you should say this.........

15\" alloys with a -50mm drop

195-45-15\'s but i have no sidewalls left as its warn through the plastic arch and gone into the metal where it has rubbed the sidewalls of the tyres off!

Nothing a hammer won\'t sort

I dropped my last Corsa -80mm (on Nova springs) and stuck 15s on with 195/50s on. Didn\'t rub even with people in back and cornered mint! The wheels were a et49 offset tho.

I\'m on a -40mm drop with 16s on now (194/45 tyres). With et40 alloys on. No rubbing ever with a full house! Got full lock and everything! Haven\'t touched arches.

I heard you could do this but a lot of people on corsa sport say the corsa and nova springs are the same, even have the same part number? might give it a go, could be a cheaper alternative than coilovers to get mine lower and i already have uprated shocks

It definitely lowered it more than -60mm. When I stuck those 14s on it, it was on the deck! It definitely lowers it more as a Corsa is a heavier car.

itsquite funny really he was on his way back to work and some old woman just pulled out straight into the front end lol we ended up getting more money for the car than we had paid for it back lol let this be a lesson to all never accept ur first insurance payout
