Hello, i am getting the above archs fitted and having coilovers and i want to know what size wheels you can fit WITHOUT ANY SCRUBBING at all.

Can people with the kit post up pics of thier car, with details on their rims and suspension please!! (offset, width diameter and drop)

Thanks a lot, i just want to make sure i make the right choice on wheel size and really dont want any rubbing at all.

depends on how far ur going to lower it dont it

i have 215/35/18, et42 droped about 50-5mm on coilovers with psg2 wide arch kit

dosent rub unless i hit dips in the road, but that is due to the body shop not cutting enough of the arch away. oh and going round corners to fast and taking to many people

I was going along the 17's route but i think they might look a tad small (Brings out old crap shop again.......)

Quite realistic (size wise) of 17's -60mm

does it rub at all mo, with people in the car over speed bumps etc...?

I guess 17's do look big enough.

my arch is completly shaven away. it's been shaven about 1 1/2 inches. i can get 3 people in the back but if it's a really deep pot hole it hits. only ever hit the inner arch once

im hoping to get coilovers so i can set em up a bit harder to stop rubbing (i hope).

Do you think in real life the 17's look big enough?

heres my old corsa its got the full wide arch kit, and it was lowered 40mm with 18s, tyre size 215/35/18 and an offset of 38 the wheels were 7" wide and only scrubbed with 3 back passengers,

only put 18s on it looks much better and totally fills the arches
