bloody hell didnt know you could get that big in without modifying arches!!!!!. are stud patterns the same from vxr to zafira?

Admin Posts : 1354 Join date : 2009-11-24 Age : 67

pretty sure that you cant get 235s X 19" as they will rub arches..

Admin Posts : 1354 Join date : 2009-11-24 Age : 67

vxr wheels will fit the zaf gsi as will corsa vxr wheels

Admin Posts : 1354 Join date : 2009-11-24 Age : 67

Zafinator you live nearish myself , so might have to arrange a visit to see you and see how low your Zaf looks in the flesh...would like to lower mine , but need a firm suspension as my tyres rub the door plastic in the rear arches...as i have 8 j x 17 wheels fitted..still got 225s fitted but they are slightly wider than standard..hence rubbing when car goes over a bump when it has adults in 2nd row of seats..

nightmare ,standards best for you,i think the eibachs are to low my self ,thats why i sold then and gone standard as i want bigger wheels so when the wife lets me spend some money,with the springs on i had 1/2 inch gap from side wall the wheels arch got very bouncy at high speed ,but thats the b4 shocks not good with eibach springs iwas advised to fit the b8 shocks at £195 each yea right as if you are going to do that lol

Admin Posts : 1354 Join date : 2009-11-24 Age : 67

its a pain because they dont make many shocks and springs for the Zaf gsi..and the lowered springs they sell for the non gsi zafs are just about the same as the gsi is standard..DOH !!

i was going for a coil over kit but was then told the hightest they will go is 30mm from standard so yet again too low ,some one must make a good setup for our zaffs
