scrubbing on 16 inch alloys ??????

[Jay_VTR]

hey everyone!!!

i have been offered some new wheels, the 16" c2 gt ones and was wondering what would be best a 40mm drop or 60mm bearin in mind they are 16"s. i was wondering if dropped 60mm would they scrub and what work would be needed if they did, take out plastic arch liners???? i like the look of a 40mm drop on 15s so would 60mm drop on 16s be the same???

help would be much apreciated

cheers, jay

oh and the offest should be right i just need some 10mm spacers so im told so if i get them the offset should be correct....

10mm spacers will sort offset. They will rub even without lowering obviously the further you lower then the more they will scrub

[Mattvtr]

depends what profile tyres they are on the c2 wheels

[Jay_VTR]

um i think they are 45, do you think 40mm will be ok

[Scott]

195/45 on c2.

Will need arch work to elimante rubbing

[Jay_VTR]

oh rite cheers scott, what sort of arch work would be needed and does it cost a lot???

cheers

Get some 40 profile tyres and you'll have no scrubbing on a drop of up to 60mm plus.

I run 195/40/16s lowered 60mm all round and dont suffer any rubbing even with four ppl in the car!
