most of the wheels i like are only avaliable in 17, 18, and 19! and i want 17's, and then lower it 35mm or 40mm.
but will the wheels rim, and it i do a sharp corner will my wheels dig into the arche?
lets say im buying 17's and i want it lowered, what else do i have 2 do 2 make gd looking aswell as being able 2 drive it hard without worrying!
will i have 2 have my arches rolled?
can n e tell me the sort of things i'll have 2 do wiv 17's and lowered?
cheers, joe

best to do a SEARCH mate, this question has been asked and covered loads before.

Yip you will have to get your arches rolled mate.
Well worth it tho!

cheers, joe

saxo's cant have there arches rolled (so i was told), they need cutting more than anything.

yep,you can't roll saxo arches coz they're plastic, not metal. here are some 17" wheel threads. have a look and you'll find everything you need to know about fitting 17's on a saxo.

Just got mine done proffessionally, £150 which is quite deer but well worth it as they are all relined and sealed so no water can get thro at all.
