2001 6N2 1.4

Post by AshtonRed »

Just bought my first car and looking to get some advice on lowering springs and alloys.

Ideally after a 30-40mm drop with 15inch alloys.

Will 15inch ET45 6J wide alloys with a 30-40mm drop rub on the arches??

Cheers in advance

You’ll need 4x100 PCD 57.1 center bore an ET between 30-45 for a decent fit

Appreciate that, Thanks!

What kind of tyre size would I need for a solid fit on a 15" Alloy??

alexperkins,

Could you recommend a place to get some alloys?

Im having bad luck with the googling here. Just getting gumtree ads.

Depends what you are after mate

Rimstyle or wheelbase are good starting points. They do loads of different wheels
