    Question Astra mk4, help regarding wheels and alloys

    Hi all, new here, just wanted some help upgradibg wheels. I have a T reg Mk4 astra and recently one of my hub caps fell off which made me begin to think about wheels for the first time. So basically 2 questions: 1. Where can i get ONE exact hubcap to replace my missing one? 2. If i decide to put alloy wheels on, what is the maximum wheel size i can put on? (ive not lowered it or done anything to the car, its factory standard, i have the wheels the car came with)

    Your help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks
    Abs

    Pretty straight forward getting 18s on there in the correct offset, width and tyre size (sorry, can't remember the exact sizes). 19 may go at a push, but you may had to modify the arches for extra clearance. Here are 2 different types of 18s on my old coupe:

    Re: Astra mk4, help regarding wheels and alloys

    18" lambos on mine modded as there a 9.5" wide wheel and there 4 fronts, if you stick on 17" or 18" your going to want to lower the car as its going to look like a herse!. Seriously if i were you i would look into a set of lowering springs or coilovers first then you could get a rough idea how low or what stance you want the car to look like.
    Depending on your budget i choose the alloys and ordered coilovers at the same time, lowered first then stuck the wheels on
