Guest fatboy billy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 i would suggest 35mm for 17's that is what mine was and no rubbing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the chunkster Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 35-40 no more you will have all sorts of issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steelcabby Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 it would work, but the ride would be absolutly bo**ocks. they normally cut the arches up higher and seem weld them together before the kit goes on, but are you not going to space the wheels out after you have the kit on?? they would look lost otherwise.. if you are spacing the wheels out then you will no-doubt have to cut the lip from the arche kit so the wheels can miss it. get he right spacers etc, and wheel offset... otherwise like people say you will be having troubles mate. i personnelly would go for a 35-40 mm G-MAX kit on 17".. they would fit the car with the standard arches and no mods.. :Banane20: :Banane20: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
