[Grainger]

question for simo or any one who knows please. they r the oz chrono wheels u av got arnt they? wot size r they? and how much is ur car dropped? im after gettin 16's on mine lowered 60mm, jus wantin 2 get an idea of how mine will look. its a big decision coz they arent cheap at £699! cheers

yeah simo's are oz chrono's, they are 17's an i think simo has a drop of 40mm!

they should look sweet on a 60mm drop! wouldnt go bigger than 16's! smileys/smiley2.gif

[Grainger]

sounds good 2 me then. wud prefer 17's mate but after the price of the wheels i cant afford the arch work!

[Scott]

stop being a pussy and crack teh grinder out and do it yourselfsmileys/smiley4.gif

[Grainger]

a bit steep innit!? i did think about that but isnt that a bodge job arnt the arches like that for a reason? will it rust quicker if i do that? i thought it needed 2 b rolled and u had to move some pipe about???

[Simo]

Plastic wont rust.. smileys/smiley2.gif

Have a look in the featured cars section for James flip coloured saxo... I think he has 16" crono evo's on his.. dropped 40mm. Been a few years since I looked at it mind - so check for yourself.

[Grainger]

maybe you can tell me then please mate. wot exactly wud i need 2 do 2 get the 17's on coz ive neva had a straight answer its just 'oohh its gonna b a lot of work, 2 much, get 16's'! smileys/smiley7.gif

cheers

17s aint all that much work n u cnt go far rong by following the fanbloodytastic how to guide on the website. smileys/smiley2.gif

Basics are tho to remove archliners, remove rear boxes at the back of the rear arches n re-seal with appropriate materials, re-locate rear bumper mount which your gonna ave to do if you want 16s on anyway!! Front arches is a case of hammering anything that sticks out back out the way and underseal everywhere. U may have to move the washer bottle forward abit to. Thats what ive done neway with a 40mm drop on 17s n its fine as a daily driver. smileys/smiley17.gif

BTW, i gt a set of 16" masitaly VT5 in my garage if yor lookin 4 a set of 16s still.

[Grainger]

so is all that simple enuf 2 do then? re locate rear bumper mount? remove boxes at rear arch? im sure i can manage the hammer at the front! r u sure it will b the same with the extra 20mm on mine? hope this is gonna b easy coz i really want 17's! smileys/smiley4.gif thanx

[Grainger]

didnnt notice that last bit any chance of a pic? how much u lookin 4 mate?

[Scott]

well people are down 100mm on 18's and get no rubbing so 17's and 60mm shouldnt be to muchsmileys/smiley17.gif

[Raysax]
