Orion Si Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 i think he means spacERs.............. i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Must mean them, cos if you put 19's on they are gonna catch the bottom of the suspension strut Dont know how far out they'd need to be spaced but I'm guessing at quite a way which would make the wheel stick right out of the arch, unless you get a different offset but that might really fcuk things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Si Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 i dont see the point in 19" anyway. they look the bollox but u get alot of problems with them. eg: like u just said, then how much are tyres..... fooking loads, makes ur steering harder and u cant turn full lock. waste of £1500 i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 There are those that go for looks, overs for performance, and the rest who want both I know I do anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers in advance.mate if you fit spacers and have 19" on you are going to hit the front and rear wing with every pebble/bump you go over unless you have a wide arch kit that has taken off your complete original arch an coilovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Well mate, if you got bubble arches on the car, ala the current euro / jap trend then you could get em on no worries, but as for standard arches, lets put it this way.................. Remember when you where 11 years old and you got your first girl from your class behind the bike shed, and you couldn't even get your finger into her? Well........................................................ . I think you get the picture, its gonna be a very tight space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cossie rep Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 i think that 18" would be your safest bet mate. Less hassle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
