Kev bailey Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I am after opinions please. I don't want to heavily modify my car. 1.6 3 door sport 55 plate Sick of the huuuuge gap between arch & tyre. Is it better to buy 17s or better to lower 30/40m & stick to my 16s?? Thoughts??

Damon Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 personally, I would stick 17's on, but still lower it, but not slam it. would look awesome mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 You can either bung on 18's which will look good and also fill the arch a bit more or go for an Eibach lowering kit which will drop the suspension by 3-4cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 18's would work yeah, and look really good actually but won't that knock his speedometer out of sync? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Not noticeably. The Speedos always read over anyway so most likely 18's would make the Speedo dead on. Best way would be to run them with a satnav on and check speed that way. On 16's mine always shows 3mph under the Speedo reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 ahh right, ah well, go up to 18s mate lol probably wont b able to lower it much tho, but with wheels that big, wont need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
