Lowering my B

Post by matius576 »

Hey all i was just wondering how low can you go on 15" alloys? mines on 14" and lowered 40mm, but want a decent set of alloys on it. but i dont want them to rub on the arches if theres a few people in it. thanks in advance

drop it on ita arse mines on 90mm springs at the rear on 15s so you have a long way to go yet 60mm on the front with a 2 litre under the bonnet :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

must have off-set between 45-49et so any vauxhall 4 stud will be ideal. you will stuggle to find aftermarket alloys with that off-set. also id recommend 15'' alloys if few speedbumps but apart from that youshould have no worries.

mine lowered 60mm front and bk on 15'' speedlines.
