Hi folks - neat site.

I\'m just about to go an purchase a new set of shiny 17\'s for my wee corsa.

Trying to ge close to et 49 as I can.

Who has got 17\'s on their corsa and what kind are they. Also, the car is lowered by 40 and I was wondering how much arch rolling needs to be done.

Cheers,

Giz

on the rear u might have 2 cut the lip off but u will have 2 that the screws off that hold ur arches and gule them back on

fonts shoul be fine but i know some people taken the inner archs out.

but 1st thing is get them on and see what u hear any noise.

i have 17s with offset of et45 lowered 40mm all round and its not catching anywhere, the front could even do with being lowered abit more!

lozzy filed his arch down and removed the screws under the arch lip. I would do as sach said, unless u want to spend Â£50 an arch for a garage to roll them
