Hi people,
Probably a common one on here, but how much work is needed to get 17's on my car ???
I know arch mods have to be done, but don't know what !
Anyone got any pics, or anything, or what to do, and how to do it ???
Cheers
Ryan

do a search been posted loads of times.
think you'll just have to debolt the arches and bond back on. depends on offset and profile ot rubber

49 Offset will be perfect, if not a bit too perfect for 205 rubber (not too sure) But it might foul the rear dampers. Put them on and try, if it rubs the damper put some 3-5mm spacers on

i got ET 49 17's and they rub a tiny amount on rear dampers so i suppose with ET49 it will be worse, i just undolted the rear arches and bonded them back on
