Corsa B, lowered 50mm on bk299's in chrome with a psg wide arch front, psg wide arch bumper, psg front wide arches but also with prowler rear arches and doorskins

i know its alot of work and will start ringing companies tomorrow to see if its possible for me.

just thinking that it might look a bit odd as the prowler rear arches are really wide, even compared to the psg ones

well to pull it off it needs to be low on the arches, if it's to high it dont look good. My old corsa was lowered -40 on the front with non-wide and was not the best for speed humps etc etc
im just saying 18's + will look alot better but becareful

If you're going for prowler arches you need the right wheels in the wrong offset. Difficult, and it won't drive well.
