If you dont get it lowered get 17'' rims but if you do go for 16'' they dont rub onthe arches. I might have some Azevs for you mate depending on if I can get my hands on some Alpina's! check back with me in a week or two winkeye

Hey Old-skool,

Thanks for getting in-touch.

17" would this be too large and induce arch rubbing..? Especially if i wish to lower the cabby?

You wouldn't happen to have any pics, to help me picture this?

cheers, tripper.

I had 17" Azev's on mine for years and it's lowered 40mm all round, no probs at all here....I still have 3 and am planning on getting some 8.5"'s for the rear, as far as i'm aware this will require the arches to be rolled.

They look awsome mate!!

What made you take them off?? These look real good when rollin' :cool:

It looks as if you could have still lowered it a little..?

Do you think i could lower mine with 17s..?

How much you looking for them...?pm me.
