17" Vortex Alloys

#1: 17" Vortex Alloys Author: Aaron888, Location: Belfast PostPosted: Wed Feb 08, 2012 6:11 pm

Hi I have a 206 lowered 60mm on the front and 1 torsion link at the back, I was wondering if I bought 17" Vortex alloys would I still be able to turn my wheel on full lock without any problems?

The only thing you may have to do is get some 3mm spacers to stop the tyre catching on the coilover

If you are actually from Northern Ireland you will understand the nick system.
Many d-turbos can be lowered to 3 nicks and no bumpstops laaad.

Also, the boyo's on here lower by mm not nicks Very Happy

And a nick is 30-35mm I think, leaves the back around the tyre level

definitely cant lower it 3 nicks lol iv seen how close the bump stops are to the rear axel and its only lowered 1 nick (30-35mm)
I think ill keep it the way it is although 2 links (60mm) would be nice on 17" but scared of rear axel going and rubbing against arches
