    Question Anyone gor pic's of a dropped Astra MK3 on 16's?

    Howzit

    I wanna put bigger wheels on my MK3 - I would really like to go 17's but I dunno if the pocket is going to allow for it, even though the price of 17's is not that much more than 16's!

    I would like to see what a dropped (preferably 40mm) MK3 looks like on 16's - I know 17's look awesome. Any of you guys out there got pics of one?

    Thanks

    Yes 17's only cost a little more than 16's but the tyres are cheaper on 17's and you get a wider range.

    Go for the 17's u won't be disappointed, I went from 16 2 17's looks the nuts.

    a lot off it depends on the width off the 16s i had some OZs on my astra dropped 40mm with a golf offset and looked excellent but now have 17s in right offset which are good but car did look lower and fatter with 16s just get what you can afford then lower it to suit ill try to get picture up off what my car looked like with 16s on
