Should be fine, you may get slight rubbing on full lock but not much if any.

[Tigger]

Get the 17s fitted and see how you go

 

[Inactive]

[Tigger]

Mine became known as the Reno Freelander after I put 17s on my Dci lol :star:

Is that tyre profile right ?? It seems a bit odd to me :S

 

[Peperami]

Yep that doesnt seem right. Far too low profile, im guessin he means 40-50.

You can lower 60mm on 17's with 4 people in the car and go over speedbumps fine.

30mm wont look very low.

35mm drop no need for spacers or anything else, wheels will only rub if you have blokes in the back unless you either only allow girls in your car (my method) or remove the rear arch lining.

Looks like so:

the only one going in the back will be the little man (my son) so i guess it will be ok


car looks mint mate loving the look to its a must for the khan's

Thanks mate, there are no problems with rubbing on full lock and it isn't all that bad apart from the fact you build up a huge que behind you when going over speed bumps at 5mph in south London.

Post some pics when you have yours done.

will do soon as i got it all sorted still not desided on a colour yet i really want lime green i think it will suit the car colour and deffo a head turner

the green is a darker one tho

 

[Fred@BTM]

green wheels are the way forward!

oh and go for 60mm springs

if you need your wheels doing/springs fitting, i'm only over in solihull

 

[Bash]

Yeah I like the green, dutty has some stunning wheels on his clio, you need a spoiler as well.

 

[Fred@BTM]

dutty copied me

 

[l3ogroll]

there going to lab tabs

how much you doing it for m8

i want them lime green too with a gloss finish if poss

 

[ben lee]

Check my newbie post 4 my pics 60mm on 17s had 10 bags of sand and didnt rub just sat very close 2 bump stops. Im not useing spacers running 205/40/17s. Could prob get away with 215s but would make the car handle worce.
