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

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
