    mk4 Astra 1.6 8v

    Lowered 60mm on 15"s

    Will that look alright on a mk4 astra?

    I have found some sweet rally wheels but they are only made in 15" same as the WRC regulations

    Does anyone have their car lowered 60mm running 15s that is a simmilar size to an astra G?

    Very subjective question TBH.

    Some people think huge bodykits look OK, others think they look gash. It's all personal choice. I personally think they would look too small on a Mk4 but others may think it would look 'Euro' etc

    agreed, even the standard 16's on the sri look too small.

    If you are gonna spend money on wheels then its got to be 17's minimum imho

    Thanks

    With the sandard 15s or whatever it has with the factory suspension, when I have a full load (4 peeps and a full bootload) it drops quite a bit

    So if I have it lowered 60mm it will still go lower with a full load and if I have the 17s it could well rub which I do not want

    Are there any pics of 60mm lowered cars?

    On a car the size of a mk4 astra id definently go bigger than 15s.
    16s minimum.
