Welcome to CS

You spent time removing your wheels to fit alloys with no tyres for some pics? Why not wait till you had tyres fitted lol

Hello

Looks like your stepping in the right direction with your corsa mate, nice choice of wheels aswell.
What other plans do you have?

looks like your plans are going down the subtle route, the best one IMO

16v_1600: just wanted to see if they fitted right, and i was short of summat to do tbh

im hoping not to spend to much- lowering if it needs it, debaged grill, gsi/sport spoiler, maybe colour coding bumpers & arches, punto wiper-just to be different i think that will do

cheers guys

All Corsas I have seen are tractors without lowering springs

A 60mm Suspension kit on those rims will look

Just buy the tyres first

ye i was hopeing to get away without lowering, but dont want it sitting like a tractor...will have to pay demon tweeks a visit.

you think 60 mm will catch at all with a full car?
i was thinking of 40, but if 60 is A ok il go 4 that

yeh tires are useful just need to save up a wee bit first

ideal mate, with 60mm you may need to remove the bolts holding your rear arches on mate, otherwise will probably scrape the tyre

where in cheshire are you from? if you get 195/45/16 tyres you can go 60mm down without any problems. iam down 90mm at the back on softstars and can have 2 people in the back so 60mm and youll be fine

my uncle works there so been there a few times, best off getting springs and shocks mate if going down 60mm, but it worth the extra money for the kit
