    nice wheels you have on your astra and with lowering seems
    superb and the gsi bumper you have
    so i will not have any problem with 15'' alloy whells and this tyre dimension for snow chains?

    I have a GSi bumper because it is a GSi
    Unsure of the snow chains,we dont get snow here lmao.
    Im sure the manufacturers of the chains will be able to help.
    The wheels are sold now i have these 17 on now.

    great choice for the 17 wheels
    do you think for the 15'' alloy wheels is a lot of space in the front
    for snow chains
    i have seen a lot of snow chains in the shops for 15'' alloy wheels but i was wondering if they fit because mine is lower 3mm in the front
    thanks

    At 30mm lower,you "should" be ok.Will give more room between tyre/arch.

    This will help you decide the overall diameter of the wheel/tyre combination.
