jamesb24 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 got a starlet sportif, standard suspension, there is a big gap, would putting 17" on reduce the gap because i dont want to mess around with the suspension, bit of a newbie haha. also would putting bigger wheels on change the speedo or something, could someone please explain? thanks james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anup67 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 it would reduce it a bit i think, but then the car would be sitting so high and they'll still be a gap!best to get some lowering springs mateAnup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Don't go for 17s dude, it'll look like a 4x4 on standard suspension 15s are the most common size, 16s if you want to fill out the arches a bit more..Speedo should be alright with 15s can't comment on 16s but I can't imagine they'd affect it much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Get some lowering springs mate..will help reduce the gap.Or if you want to spend the extra get some coilovers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 As above do it the "right" way and change the suspension, 17" wheels are no good on a Starlet.Changing springs is quite simple and can be done in a few hours with basic tools. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
