welcome from scotland.
black one eh? nicey!!! mine has got 17"x7" with a 38mm offset and theres about 5mm clearance between the wheel and the rear struts. it`s also lowered 35mm and the only prob i had was n/s/f tyre was rubbing the inner plastic wheel arch trim thingy. sorted this with a cable tie. i reckon mine could be lowered about another 15 to 20mm without rubbing but i`ve only got 205 tyres. i think 215`s would rub the wheel arch. but go for it!!! :twisted: and get the pix on the forum toot sweet!!! C`MON THE BGer`s!!!!! :lol: |

There's a guy selling some 17" versions of these rims on www.fordlaser.com on this thread: http://www.fordlaser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17592
17's would be just as good, use the spare cash to drop it more

As long as you don't go any wider than 215's you should be ok. I get scrub when I'm throwing it round corners. If I have people in the back it will scrub when going round a round-a-bout.
But besides that, the handling is great!

Thinking about throwing some 18's on my BG astina also, but i don't want any of this scrubing, which guards are you guys saying have to be liped, cause i have already liped the back ones.
Also can someone with 18's on there bg measure the gap between tire and guard , trying to work out weather the scraping issue is cause the car is 2 low. What is it scraping on ?? Guards or is it hitting the bump stops?? |
