lookout_5-0 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi I have put a new set of 17 inch alloy on the car and need to stop these wheels catching on the on the front arch. I have had a look into these:-http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005FM4U5O/ref=asc_df_B005FM4U5O12779326?smid=A1J6N4PBPI53J9&tag=shoppingmp145587-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B005FM4U5O I'm wondering whether they would be a good fix and also what the spring gap is on the sportif / standard .

Billy SR Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 your answer is you've put 17's on the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 these are more often used on caravans to keep them solid. these actually raise your rise hide lol. better getting a set of wheels that fit or rolling the archs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lookout_5-0 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I realise that but would this sort the problem out?Thanks UKSO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 depends how bad its catching and what size spring raisers you get. as a side effect these will make the ride extremely harsh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 not something ive ever herd discussed to be honest most people aim to drop them on there arse so run after market springs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 starlets should have wheels no bigger than 16s tbh, 17s kill performance and make it handle like a boat am afraid dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RicoW Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 this should be your solution... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
