[172baz]

New to the club just after some advice

buying these wheels in 17s (what do ya think) and am going to lower the car 40 mm . will i have any problems with rubbing on the arches especially on the rear as the boot will be full of ice.

also what induction kits do you recommend (thinking about a piper x viper) are these much better than the standard piper x

cheers baz

Just make sure you get the right tyres on those wheels! 195/40R17 and not 205/40R17.

Depends on the offset of those wheels but you shouldnt get any rubbing!

They will look nice mate, be prepared to lose performance tho! theres a fair few posts about 17s making 172s slower, also the piper x vipers are raved about on here... i just like me "green" tho, so ill be sticking to it

Is it the green twister filter or just standard

 

[geordiepaul]

The 195s wont slow the car down as much (if at all) as the 205s

Drop it 30 not 40!!!

Just the standard single cone "green", wanted a twin cone like you get on the 16 valvers but green dont make one yet......
