Alright all, as use possibly know I put fk coilovers on my 2007 grande punto 360 edition.. But the arch gap is still horrendous even with them wound all the way down, would it seem smaller when I put my 17's on it ?

That arch gap is similar to my 30mm lowering springs
To answer your question no they shouldn't, it will look better overall with 17's but you'll have lower profile tyres on to compensate, (more alloy, less tyre) so everything stays the same if you get me

If it's a 1.2 I wouldn't put 17's on it either

IMHO mate it still looks good, and you'll still be able to confidently go over speed bumps with that gap, looks about right for everyday driving

Cheers for the reply bud! What size alloys you got on yours? And its never going to win any performance tests, just looks will do it for me!

I put 15's on mainly because of cost and I didn't want to slow down the car any more, it's literally at the point of being unusable.
Also larger alloys add a lot extra stress to the gearbox which in the smaller engined gp's is pap anyways, I'm on my 2nd

17's do look good though

As av said its not going to get any faster! Haha, and its pretty close to going I'm pretty sure,

Will it drop another 50mm after settling lol that seems rather high for full drop are the adjusters still in there

Nah there is a big difference, just not as much as I thought

That's my gap with my coilies on 17's fully wound with no adjusters in the rear

Seriously if you take the adjusters out and whack some 16/17's on it'll definitely wipe the arch gap away
