i tried putting 17s on my car but when i did a full lock to the left, it hit the anti roll bar so i had to use a spacer and now its ok but now my front arches are bein hit because the wheel is sticking out too much
can i do anything bout this anti roll bar?
anyone else got 17s who seem to be having this problem with the roll bar bein hit and do all corsas have the roll bar in the same place??

i have had 13''s 2 lots of 16's, 15's and 17's
never did it foul the atb.
turn the wheel and see where it is rubbing. then either file the brackets down or remove the atb.

isnt it neccesary for u to have the anti roll bar? i thought thats what spins your wheel, if i move that my wheel would probably stop spinning!
its like takin the wings off a bird, if it has now wings then it cant fly

no mate, thats the drive shafts, the anti role bar is a steel rod which clamps to the front tie rods, it does not move and it not related to the wheels in any manor. either you have your wires crossed or the thing you are on about isnt an anti role bar.

the drive shafts come from the gearbox and into the hub, they turn the wheels. however it is impossible for the rim to hit it.

the part thats rubbing on yer car is not the anit roll bar as such. its part of the suspension. the antiroll barr ties to these on either side.
u cant remove these
the thing with the green line is the anti roll bar

That picture ^^^ is of the front of the car....
Thats the gearbox on the plank of wood!
The green line points to the anti roll bar, which is mounted between the 2 tie bars. The only thing your wheel cud be hitting is the tie bars and i cant see how....
Is rubbing on the liners a common problem, i have 7.5" x 16" ET45 alloys and the front wheel has NEVER rubbed on anything in the 18 months i have had them lowered 40mm???

All corsas have tie bars, not all corsas have the anti roll bar that goes between them. Having a roll bar or not shudnt make any difference to the tie bars, and i cant se how/why a wheel wud rub on those bars!!!

i just think the problem here is that the wheels u got are the wrong offset and are probably to wide. are they 7.5?
some sort of spacers might help although i'm not to sure how these would be applied.

offset cant be the prob can it, to make it come in more and hit the bar the offset wud have to be too high!!
