17" wheels and lowing

[jailbreakvito]

Right Guys question

Got some 17" rims coming from ebay and im getting my car lowered next weekend, when even the springs come through.

I live on a quite steep hill, so when i park the rear goes down as it would with any car.

BUT if i put 17" on and lowered will it restrict me from parking on the hill??

Just curious into what makes you think 17" wheels will stop you from parking on a hill?

well ive had 13" on since i bought it... and when i park the arch is about 2" away from hitting the tyre.

yeah i can park it at bottom of hill lol or on drive but what if people get in the car will it scrape.

and yeah i know wanted 17" because no one has 17s on

I would'nt worry too much about parking on a hill causing any problems coz theyll probably be scraping all the way down the road on the rear arches anyway lol besides looking like a cart

what the mx would u recommend.. 15" or 16"

[Baz]

15 on 45 profile or 16 on 40 profile, even then it will probs scrub on a 1.1

13" without lowed

[Baz]

any wheels will make your car look like stilts so you wanna get it lowered asap if your putting wheels on

[jailbreakvito]

Yeah cheers :P so 15

[Baz]

upto you really....the wheels in the pic I posted are 16", 16s on 40 profile are like a few mm bigger than 15s on 45 so if you want abit bigger then....

[Ben_SaxoForte]

15's or 16's should be good, but i think the reason most people go for 15's is the price difference in tyres. for 15's your looking at 35-45 quid a corner for budget tyres and 16's you won't get for much less than 80 quid a corner which is why I downgraded from 16's to 15's and actually prefer the look of them anyway

if i do 17" what would u say for the amount of lowerie goodness

[MiniGibbo]

40 if you dont want to smash off your arches..

the lower the better, 60 looks about perfect but will destroy your car.

[m11ler]

Stop being a pussy and just put the 17's on! They look awesome on flatarch's! /sarcasm

[MiniGibbo]

Is it a flatty? fack didnt realise lol.. not sure how well 17's will sit in the tiny rear arches....

[kennym1987]

i personally dont think he would be able to lower it more than 20-30mm

[saxova]

It's gonna scrape like fuck.

Why bother?

[jailbreakvito]

Well I'm getting new alloys regardless might as well get 15" then won't have to lower until I need to

best option :y: in that pic of my car, those wheels came off shortly after and some 15s went on
