17 Inch's

Post by Ben »

Hi guys, im new to the forum.

I want to fit some 17 inch Lenso SHU wheels to my Corsa, ive been told by the supplier that they will fit with no arch modifications. But then i spoke to a guy from Demon tweeks and he said that the arches will need to be done.

What exactly do they do when they do your arches? and how much is it roughly, im only 17 so im not made of money :)

And is it ok just to buy the lowering springs? Because the full suspension kit is pretty expensive.

Cheers Lads

i got 17s on my 5dr and its not lowered yet - but it does catch when i have someone in the back. im lowering mine 40mm and i have to get my arches done. but the thing is though its different with every car cos when i had these alloys on my last corsa (5dr) they never caught when had peeps in the back

Yeah M8, i love the look of the Lenso SHU\'s they look so wicked, quite different to any other wheel too!

Erm, im not sure whether to go for silver or Hyper silver yet, not sure really sure how different they are.
