How many pasengers can u get in on16 17’s

[huggy54]

Now im not gonna ask all the usual questions about 17's, but I will ask for the people lowered around 40mm(ish)on 16's and 17's only:

1)how many people in total can you get in your saxo without any scrubbing or serious scrubbing?

2)does your exhaust scrub the ground?

3)You think a Wings west kitted saxo lowered 40mm looks better with 16's or 17's?

Thanks guys

In most cases kitted saxo's look best with 17's

IMO the only kit that looks good with 16's is the dimma, and also the only kit i would have on my car.

1) do enough arch work and carry a full car, on my vtr with 16s i could carry a full car and luggage and not rub

2)no and if it does your exhaust must be hanging to low

3) up to you both can look good

ok scott but how bout on 17's, a full car with no rubbing, is it possible, if not how many can u get in?

[Baz]

pretty sure you can get a full load with 17's aslong as you do enough arch work.

Like scott said do enough arch work to compensate and you will be able to get a full car.

I had 16's on a 60mm drop and could have a full car easily. smileys/smiley4.gif

Im lowered 60mm on 17s now with all arch work done but ive had to rip out rears as it scrubbed like a bitch even with my gf in the back who weighs nothing.

[vts165]

you have to relocate the rear bumper brackets and trim the inner lip of the rear bumper, and theres some plastic things behind the rear wheels that need removing.
and you'll have to move your washer bottle slightly cause it'll probably rub..
and it'll rub on full lock as they all do... smileys/smiley7.gif
