hiya guys, I am having problems with carrying people in my car that I can manage myself and one other without difficulty but when I have a car full and it consists of just four as there is only four seats my arches are sitting virtually on my wheels, now my car has gti 180 17" wheels act the moment and it has not been lowered, the question is it k was to consider to down size to 16 or even 15 inch wheels with low profiles on will that allow the wheels when fully laden to sit under the arches? Also the front bumper is low but would j have to look to change that aswell cause it would not be off the floor with the smaller wheels? Please advise if possible cause I love the and was considering swapping car for something else that would allow me to carry folk, also if downsizing would potentially solve the problem any one got any they would swap for my 17's
oh if you look at my profile pic this may help and show you which front bumper,wheels I have.
Thanks in advance
cheers pete

Seriously tho alot of people will just see a mass block of writing and click off before even reading, try breaking into paragraphs.

you could try harder suspention? might make the ride a little more un-comfy, but it would solve your problem.
on the plus side. it costs all the rest of us £60+ to get our 206's low. and your getting yours lowered for free.
go on lad! :L
