16's on a 60mm drop

[LEE_VTR1]

iv got a saxo vtr
lowered 60mm its got 15's on it at the moment.
but the wheels are curbed to fuck.
and make the car look generally shit.
i want to fill the arches so a mate said get 16's


but when i turn on fulll lock the front wheels rub the inner arch liners and have worn them through.:panic:


should i just get a nice set of 15's or should i just go full out and get 16's


any help would be mint guys:y: :y:

does it rub on the 15s cause 16s would be worse mines dropped 35mm all round on 16s and that dont rub and it still really low, if u get 16s u prob need the arches cut bk to make room for them so they dont rub

[Kelly]

if 15s rub on full lock then its a no-brainer that 16s will too. take your arch liners out and see what room you have then.

Personally I wouldn't go any bigger that 15's. As others would say... post is no good without pics lol

Stick with 15's...

Wheels are horrid...

[LEE_VTR1]

yea i know
thats why i want some new ones
just not sure what wheels to get.

16s wont 'fill' the arches really, 15s are fine there all you need is some arch work to stop it rubbing

[LEE_VTR1]

i really dont know nothing about the car had it 2 months now
iv changed alot of on it cause alot was fucked when i brought it.

its getting there slowly.

just need to change the wheels now and sort the dents out in the wings.

16" tyres are alot more expensive than 15's to lol

i think 15's would be fine tbh cos they look ok on that pic

Sort the dents out and have a good think about what route you want to take with regards to looks e.g. euro, rally slag etc

If you go euro you're talking a lot of smoothing, colour coding and euro wheels. So this is something you need to think about before you go buying wheels etc

Do not leave the arch liners out whatever you do! You'll get loads of crap in your doors and they won't close probably. As I've found out when mine pulled themselves off, one on the motorway, one in argos carpark lol. That was lowered 60mm with 15's so 16's will definately rub.

15's look fine, and as Yates said 16's won't really 'fill' the arches. Plus my personal view is that anything over 15's don't look right on small cars

Cant see how ur 16's wud rub away inner arch on full lock......mine dont and i got mine on 45 profiles

tbh look wise a 16" wheel dont look much bigger then a 15 cos ppl say to me is that 15's on my car :homme:

[Mattsaxo]

stick with 15" mate, its just the better choice, tyres are really expensive in 16"s and to chance the fact they'll kill your car and risk £200 - £300 quid more i'd just get a nice set of 15" and some low pro tyres.
