Looking around on ebay and i've seen a set of wheel's i've been after for ages at a great price. Only issue is they are 18's. 100 et 42 fitment. So should be fine for a C? However, are they going to rub (not lowered) and will they actually look ok?

If anyone has any pictures of a C on 18's that would be fantastic.
Cheers in advance.

Yes, 18s will fit on a c and look good, will be a pain in the ass lowering it though, they will rub a little anyway

Scottish bird called Kirsty, she left the forum time ago. That car is one of the classic old ones, best modified corsa still in my eyes.

He had 19"s.

want to see what rear goes on it

was it a full lexmaul kit?

M2C
09-07-2008, 01:16
Na don't think so, was a variety of different parts put together. Was best flow of lines in a style imo. Thinking of going this route for mine for ages, just need the money.

Mark
09-07-2008, 01:18
as do i

i will be kitting mine next year though, thought i was decided on a combat kit with some custom work, but i'm now unsure

Luke-S
09-07-2008, 01:19
Cheers for the advice here guys. Think im going to get these 18's then. They seem to look great on all other C's. Should be fine un-lowered aswel I reckon.

EDIT: That silver C is the sex.

Marc, you say they should fit fine with a 'small amount of work' But unfortunately for people like yourself, that includes taking the entire car apart screw by screw, replacing the engine for a boing 747 engine and putting it all back together again. Please define 'small amount of work' :lol:

trim the plastic arches slightly and u mite have to trim a few of the bolts that hold the arches on

Really? You reckon? Seems a bit excessive for what is essentially just another inch on what I have now. Remember its NOT lowered.

it mite only be an inch but it does make alot of difference looks wise, it would take less than an hour 2 do all the arches, as ur car aint lowered it mite be ok without doing ant thing 2 the arches

i got 18's lowered 20mm but guna lower it more, just need more arch work done, it not a massive amount of rubbin, as yours aint lowered the only rubbin ull have is on big bumps and if u turn rite on the passenger side, but dnt do it now i got coilovers,

laxton
14-10-2008, 14:42
TBF i had 18's on mine lowered on 60mm nova springs and i soon took them off!!
Not because of rubbing (because they didn't) but for the fact they just look to big!!!

Look daft imo, think a lower car with ncie 17's is much nicer than a corsa with 19's on stilts

M1ke
15-10-2008, 01:10
18's look too big, need a decent kit to pull them off like the silver one posted first.

Does anyone know what skirts they are?

JC Design skirts - http://www.jcdesign.be/a/corsaca.htm as for buying some if anything like the spoiler then rare as rocking horse poop.

These on german ebay look very similar though - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120305918663
