Anyone got any pics of a Corsa with 15"s and lowered?

I might do it if it looks good...

i have 60mm lowering springs to put on my corsa. anyone else done this? good/bad idea??

Cesaros and -60mm



Pro Race 1.2's and -50mm



Both have 195/50 tyres on.

putting your car on 60mm springs and std dampers will seriously f**k up the handling and ride. the dampers will be virtually on the bump stops and under alot of pressure. i certainly wouldnt even consider it!!...

BIG WHEELS SUCK UNLESS U HAVE A BIG CAR!!!!!!! (hummer or somthing)

they rub tey make it understeer cost poo loads to buy and cost a fortune on tyers

little wheels handle better and exclrate better

and but lowering ur car u lower the center fo gravity so it will andle better
but there aint relly much point of doing it unless u put a stiffer damper coz u will get to much body role

i have 15 195 alloys on mine and standard suspension and it looks poo it handels like poo and it doesnt accellerate properly far too much roll into corners and usually understeer so i am lowering mine by 50-60 mm because it is just better u dnt want massive wheels ull look like a T W A T

well in my opinion 17" are sweet and dont look poo...plus can stilll lower your car with them if you get the right wheels! Plus the 17" grap more peoples attention...duno how many people have checked mine out and it isnt even lowered!
everyone is intitled to their own opinion i suppose

i may take u up on that 17 on a corsa will look good u gt any piks of urs pal?

aye mate...looks good have to say...after seeing 17" on mine everyday smaller wheels look pathetic to me lol unless they are real class wheels
here she is....

well mine look like turd coz my car is like 4 ft in the air n gt tiny 15's obn it


do you have any problems with rubbing or understeer and did you have to do any work onit???

No mate no problems at all...only harder to spin the wheels lol

i like little tiny 15'' with lowered sus down 60 and low profile tyres.. makes the car handle great, looks great, and doesnt f**k the speedo!
plus you get decent prices for most of the tyres/alloys instead of 16''s which is a kinda odd size

but to be honest with small wheels and small low pros i slide all over the place especially in the wet

it sucks

lol both have their disadvantages and advantages so in my opinion its done to personal preferance

i agree

yea but i wouldn't go bigger than 16. The 15's are just the right size for the car. drop it 40 or more and they look spot on! 195/50R15 Paradas and in the dry, its f**k stuck!!! In the wet, i have to change my driving a little.

17's on a corsa is just chavvy and ridiculus! They are not meant to be on the car!
