17’s on a R5

[Blue Mule]

Ive decided to put 17s on my R5 cos even though I got 1.4 engine trasplanted in it I should waste a lot of money for tuning that engine up and its simply not worth the trouble...so Ill just make my car look nice...

So, any advices on putting 17s on R5?

No no no no no. Deep dish 15" split rims

can look very nice!

either go 15s or 16s, 17s are alot of hassle on a 5 especially if lowered(cutting bumper brackets about hacking chunks out of the wings etc to stop rubbing) plus it will spoil the way the car drives

 

[Blue Mule]

I know 15s look nice...but 17s...nicer )

 

[Turkish]

you got turbo bodykit on it ?

 

[Blue Mule]

Nope

I do something cutom

I will definetly make arches just like Carismas R5...it looks great

 

[Turkish]

yeah if you go 17s you defo need arches cuz they will have to cut the wings and 1/4 panels to fit the wheels in

Would lowering 50mm be enough for 17s?
