[bigdaz1987]

ok people can some one help me i am looking at getting new alloys the problem is the wheels i want only come in 19" and not sure if they will fit and if they do how much i can lower the car on that size

[Jamesyboy]

ill help you out with the sale of your white ones

I reckon 4omm with 19s will look swwwwet

[v6 steve]

steva and shazz both have 19" on theres iv got 18" with 35 tyres and its lowerd 40 mm and there is still a good bit around the tyre

[bigdaz1987]

I reckon 4omm with 19s will look swwwwet

yes it would but i wonder if it will rub

[Fraz]

for a show car 19's will look sweet, but if your driving it every day you will feel every little bump in the road, hit a few pot holes and you will soon have a problem, the side walls on the tyres will be next to nothing ...I would alos think you will get them hitting the arch if your goig at speed and hit a small bump (allys's does with 18's)

[Allys Cally]

as Fraz says when i pushed mine on if you hit a dip in the road at anything above 70 it would rub at the front. i believe Norrie got round this by rolling the arches on the front when he had the 18ins fitted.
although i no longer have this problem as i have more sensible 16in alloys fitted, all be it on a different motor

[v6 steve]

what happened to that ? did it crash into a radiator shop or somthing

[Mark1]

If you use the car all the time then I'd go with 17's.

[Callyscot]

a lot of it comes down to the suspension you are going to use as well as the width of the wheel's you are going to put on have just fitted 18's by 7.1/2 wheels with a 40 offset and there is more clearance than with my 17's by 8 with 35 offset.

[Fraz]

new wheels as well eh Norrie

[vinny_69]

is that a stick on fuel flap i see

[ryan_warman]

think that calibra looks nuts needs wider arches looks bit slow tbhthe need to do bit to the engine imo

back on track to the thread i think 17's suit the caibra perfect not all about length lol

[vinny_69]

not all about length lol

ahhh bless

[James_Mould]

19's would look good but are a bit impractical for every day use. Would make a good show car though.

[bigdaz1987]

looks like i will be sticking with 17"s then cheers for the help guys
