just bought me a coupe, 20 vt

want to lower it and get some decent alloys on, but could do with some input,

what wheel size/offset to go for (pref 17's i think) i have heard clearing the brakes is an issue......

also springs... which ones offer best value for money (got kids to think about so wife dont like me spending mega bucks!)

cheers for help guys!!

Hi Dodge,

Here you will find a list of wheels that fit the Coop.

As for springs, the eibachs are considered to be quite good but some people find these quite "crashy" with the standard shocks. There is a wealth of information on here if you use the Search function though!

Good Luck ;\)

I have 17" alloys with PCD 100 and wobbly bolts and it fits fine \:\)

You may need spacers with that ET though not completely sure if Im honest

just be careful, and see if you can get trial fittings before purchasing anything, different alloys with different spoke designs, even if they have the same pcd and offset may fit differently, just be careful, the coupe is notoriously difficult to find alloys for - especially so if buying mail order.
