i want to fit 17's but pls help

[kuk sool]

hi guys been looking at some cross spoke bk alloys at my local carnoiseur in cambs! the guy saw my mk2 16v and how low it was and said all i need to do is cut the inner arch mouldings on the front to get them to fit as the Bk's are a 17x7 so would only really affect the front not the back is this true!

and does anyone have a detailed document on how to cut the front inner arches to allow these wheels to fit!

thanks

the rear inner arch lips will need rolled otherwise they catch

cheers gambit!!

ive been also looking at some borbet C,s which i think look pretty nice on the mk2 which are 15's but 7 wide would these be ok or would i again need soem arch mods!!

ive got the standard bbs alloys on my 16v 91 plate at the mo... i know there 15s but whats the next bit are the 15x5 or 15x6 etc!!!

erm im not sure really what im on about but would a

ACE alloys do a cross spoke type design in 16x7 fit would that be better than a 17x7 alloy! or would they scrape the arches just as much

just get a nice set of 15's and lower accordingly

7 inch wide is fine, thats what mine are
