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.

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