look good on 17n's..got to be the right wheel though

[craig180]

You will need to lower more than 40mm for a saxo toi look good on 17s. Mine is lowered 50 front and about 60 rear and still looks high!

You will also need to do a load of arch work. Good luck!:p

my car lowered 40mm all round!!

They are some big drops there - Personaly Id prefer 16's with a lower drop but like mentioned alot depends on the wheel choice.

hows the handling like on 17s, and how much arch work was needed

[Aron]

i no my mate put 17" s on and he had to just remove the inner arch and cut therear bumper bracket off on the back.

[mallboy]

the handling on my car is spot on, handles allot better than my standard vtr rims. allot of work is needed tho, inner arch plastics removing, bumper brackets removing, bumper trimming, plastic arch lip needs trimming and the metal arch may need trimming if lowering. allot of work but worth it in the end

[huggy54]

suprisingly alot of ppl say handling goes right out the window with 17s, i am getting 17s on saturday, only reason is im getting em 2nd hand 4 200 pounds, cant find the wheels in 16s and they wont that cheap

this one seems to be the only one that looks decent enough. but

imo 17's are too big for saxos unless slammed.
