Advice on alloy size and arch rollin
« on: 28 January 2011, 15:25 »
Ok so i fitted some spax suspension lowered 40mm,
I got 16 inch alloys on at moment no arch catching, :wink:

Do you think so, I had 16s for 11 years now,
Do they look better with 15s then,

Thats just my opinion, dont pay too much attention!

It just looks right on 15's, I think some 16's can work, but the car is too small to go bigger. It depends what your doing with it, if you want a certain look for shows etc, then vary low on big wheels may be great... But there would be no perofrmance benefits.

17"s will need work, better to stick with 16" or switch back to 15"

Switch to 15" with 195/50/15's good sound choice.
