Maximum size alloys on coupe

Daveymaclad · 20-03-09, 08:12 PM

Hi all, can anyone give me an idea on the largest alloys that will fit a CQ without causing clearance & turning issues and also what sort of ET I should be looking for on say 17" alloys?

Cheers

Dave

Personally for me aything bigger than 15" doesn't look right

. I'd go for a nice deep dish alloy

Really? I've seen some URQ's with 17" alloys and they looked good, not too chavvy or out of place at all!

It's only a personal thing Davey but I think a smaller alloy fits better and just gives a better balance to the whole car. For me any mods should be sympathetic to the car and the era it came from. Then again I have been slated for being a purist by one or two on here.
