Post by Matty2021 »

Ive got the purchase of a 1.0l coupe in the works, looks like im gonna defo get it by the looks of things.
Im thinkin of gettin 13s and was gonna go for 9" wides! I was wondering whether im gonna have any problems with arch scrubbing after lowering it 70mm all round with these wheels on.

Cheers homies!

9"s! :shock:

With a 70mm drop, you're definitely gonna need something doing with the arches, defintely need rolling and possibly flaring to keep the long arm of the law off your case.
