when u got ur 17s did u need ur speedo re-calculating and did u find them hard to put on

[darrensvtr]

no.and they were easy to fit.

[SaxoAL]

hmmm. I would say they would rub on the inner lip of the arch.
Give R-tec a ring and ask the Q's as they are the people that know.

nice 1 cheers mate. smileys/smiley4.gif might just pay and get some more 195/40/17 coz no there ok.just the price tho.

[shane]

did u use the fitting bigger wheels guide on this website?!

[darrensvtr]

no.fitted em b4 i was a member on here.fitted loads of alloys b4 so no what im doing.just wasnt sure bout 205 tyres and 40mm drop.

[shane]

well ive got a drop of 35mm so do u thing the help guide on this site will be enough to fit 17's without any problems?
its a eastcoast kitted up

[SaxoAL]

Will be fine working around what you have got yes.
As Eastcoast I presume you mean it is still flat-arched and not VT kitted.(and its 4 studded too?)

Will need to do a fair bit of work to the arches on flat-arched saxos to get 17's on. PM Greensaxo, as he has a very low one on 15's, but has had a fair bitof arch-work done. So it may be worth asking him ?

[shane]

its got a vts stealth kit on including the arches

[S9_DAN]

should be fine, i have got 205/40/17 tyres on my vtr and it is lowered 50 or 60mm at the front and it does not rub apart from when i take islands to quick, but even then it is not that bad.

[darrensvtr]

nice one cheers geez.just cheaper to get 205/40/17 than it is 195/40/17 and more companies do em. smileys/smiley2.gif

Of course you will need to modi your arches a little
