Alloys

Post by Adster »

I've tried reading about on this but im still not convinced.

Will 17" Momo GT racing alloys fit on a corsa B with standard springs?

Buying them off a friend for £50 with part worn tyres and they're in pretty good nick.

Cheers for the help guys :)

Not sure if the springs are completely fkd tbh. They are quite soft (You can rock the car quite easly)
And im going to sell them off for more if they dont fit 8)

If they do fit, is there anyway of stiffening to standard springs?
I know they'll have low profile tyres but its still my worry of them scuffing the arches :meh:

Guess if they do fit i wont have a full car when i go out :lol:
