alot of people decide to lower their car with smaller wheels but i dont understnad ...what are the benefits? espically for people like me whos area is covered in speed ramps
hope i dont sound stupid but hey...
thanks

never heard of anyone lowering their car with smaller wheels

but people use different springs to lower car..

it looks better, not like 4x4 and handles better.. so u dont have to slow down as much for bends there fore better economy

aside from making the car accelrate a tiny bit quicker and be alot more manoverable
there isnt really a massive benifit!
get some big ones!!

i lowered my corsa sport on full spax springs and shockers on 15inch rims and it handled like a dream and looked mint if it wasnt lowered it would of looked stupiid, a massive gao between the wheek and the arch.

I have 15" rims on mine, dont look like i have much room to lower though?

I have 15" 195' s and it scrapes my arches wen i go over little bumps in the road with 2 people in the back, so dont think i will be lowering

My Corsa B is lowered 30mm front and rear and on 15's it handles amazin, i only lowered mine by 3omm because was told it would pop my drive shafts out cuz ive got a 2.0ltr coversion in mine but i think a 40mm drop on 15's looks nice and if you have took ya back seats out 60mm on 16's

well my car has 17's on it and when theres a full car it's fine...even over speed ramps...but if i were to lower it it would be a different story so think im just going to stick with big wheels

lowering ur car onl makes ur car faster if u get springs and shocks which will stiffen the suspension
if u just lower it using springs ur car will look kool but handle like poo and be bouncy ect
so u want a good set up that will make the can handle and go faster
the smaller wheel idea gives greater accelleration which is a good thing !!

I would feckin love it if people would spell correctly, it only makes it harder.

Never knew it made your car accelerate quicker but hey, you learn summin knew every day...

I lowered my corsa sport 60mm with g-max suspension, and to be honest, IT WAS poo.

Had to get rid of it because it was far too bumpy, had a baby on the way.

But it actually does make your car look 10 times better though! So i suppose if you want to sacrifice comfort for looks then go ahead lol

instead of lowering the car tho, just get bigger wheels

making it accelerate slower, using more petrol, speedo showing wrong speed, and ur car lookign like that:

well duno bout you but wen a car drives by with big wheels it catches my eye quicker than one with standard size wheels

15's and lowered...because the standard suspension is bloody awful and you will end up in a hedge if you get a corner wrong!

40-50mm is the best drop on a corsa. Low enough to look good, but any more will start to affect handling again unless your spring kit is a good one e.g. bilstein.
