   Have got a set of 17's sitting in the garage which i know fit as i did a test fitting with them.
   
   Any ideas if they wil go straight onto the car without modding? i gather they wont, heard you had to remove the plastic arch guard on the isnide of the arches and move the washer bottle. Correct
   
   If jnot then it will be bye-bye 17"s and hello 16"s. I dont mind getting my hands dirty with a bit of fibreglass to sort the problem out, jsut i havent got any front arch guards anyway and it is caking up my front door hinge area with all kinds of dirt!
   
   Regards

   Yes u'll more then likely have to do the arch mods, i would get some 16's anyway, look far better than 17's imo.

   Remove both front and rear arch liners, beat back metal and padding under arches, roll rear bumper.
