17's on a Mk2 Astra?

[Ed]

Is it possible to fit 17" wheels to a Mk2 Astra without too much of an awful ride in terms of rubbing. Bear in mind I do have my rear arches rolled back. Also if anyone has seen my car they will know it is very low, I am assuming I am gonna have to raise the ride height a little. How low have other people gone with 17's?

..about a -100mm on mine.

I'm running coilovers on the front, and when i turret the rear and convert to coilovers, i'm going to put the car back to a more useable and supple spring rate and height.

-35mm for me - loads of room - most important thing is to start with the right offset - 49mm.

oi GP, anything to email yet?

[Gary]

sorry Steve I've been really busy at home this week and still haven't got round to it - by the weekend I reckon.

[Steve Heley]

No worries.

Theres no way your gonna get away without arch mods, ive only got 16's with -45mm ish spriings, someone smell burning ? I also opted for the slimer 195 tyres too, still rubbed on the upper arch.

Hammer or jack out the inner arch, its the only way to fly, or obviously fit arches with more room, ey ey ?
