6th January 2005, 00:45

I have a saxo vtr lowered 50mm on standards and I want to put some nice 17s on it.

I know i will need to remove arch lining, but what else will i have to do?

Any info would be appreciated!

you will probably have to cut some of the arch off :O

15's = little modidng, the rear arches bumper plastic bit you have to bend (i think)

16s = no arch mods if there 195/40/16's just the little clip bit

17's = arch work needed

specially if its a 50mm drop.

You've got quite a bit of work to do to fit 17"s with a 50mm drop, get the HAYNES Max Power manual it shows you what to do in there! I used it and i don't get hardly any scrubbing on my 17"s on a 40mm drop.

yo. i not got any pics dude, but most speed bumps you can get over no probs. you WILL NEED TOP SLOW DOWN though wheen you go over them, also be wary if you got a car full and are goin over really big ones.

In other words as long as ur careful, you wont have any probz
