stig, 80mm on 17s is gonna need some work i reckon

poof!! theres bags of room

anymore than 80mm and its a problem

 

[thestig]

so i can lower it 80 mm on 17s with no arch work then ?

 

[Bryan]

may take a wee bit of fettling

 

[thestig]

so I could just get me arches rolled just to make sure that it does not need fettling then ?

 

[Bryan]

or as fred has shown above, grab a grinder, some underseal and be done with it all

 

[thestig]

thats a bit of a bodge though, I want to do a quality job.!

 

[Bryan]

LMFAO @ above comment

its not a bodge, its the only sensible way to get 17s on with a 110mm drop

A bodge?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!

Thats quality work by a craftsman there mate, I dont think anyone would say Freds car is a bodge.

(my photos seem to be doing the rounds quite well too hehehehe)

 

[thestig]

Ok, it looks the bollacks but what about under the arch is it all messes up? or is it quality?

 

[Bryan]

no, its taken enough time and effort to be almost stock

its a quality effort

 

[thestig]

I wil decide when I see the inside of the arch, cos I am lowering mine 100mm and want to see what it looks like inside first.

 

[Bryan]

if youre lowering it 100mm rolling the arches will not be sufficient, you wlil need to grind off most of the inner lip

 

[Tom]

And then some.

 

[thestig]

Ok i will grind them.

Why didnt you just get your arches rolled by r tec or someone? Or would they not fit with just rolling?

I always take the view of "why pay someone to do something, when you can do it yourself!!!"

Get some Balls man!!!!! Get your grinder out!!!!!!

BTW all the work done on my car is done by me, i dont/nor will i ever pay someone to do something to it!!!!

Ta FRED



Guy, IMO you need to grind the metal lip away, cos if you jusr "roll" it back itll still be in the way (hard to expalin, but youll see what i mean)

 

[thestig]

OK Ill Grind em back. Cheers dudes

[thestig]
