17" Wheels for Citigo

Recommended Posts

I consider 17s too big for the Citigo but it is horses for courses. I think lowering the suspension so that the wheels fill the arches is more important. 16s with a width/offset to get the edge of the wheel in line with the edge of the wheel arch (but without it making contact) is a better look than simply bigger wheels.

7J  with ET35 would have the outer rim 25.1mm further out and the inner rim 13.1mm closer to the suspension strut (when compared to standard 5.5" x 15" Monte Carlo wheels. Should be about right I reckon.The issue with 7" x 17" wheels is that they are likely to be significantly heavier than the 5.5" x 15" wheel/tyre combo and with only 60bhp you don't want to penalise the little blighter any more. So a decent lightweight rim is also a must.

I have a new engine on order and need 17's for the HiSpec brakes that are from a mk4 Golf to fit under them. 16's are perfect if keeping small brakes

 

I look forward to seeing the progress on this; should be good.
