16" rim or 17" rim

Excellent look mate! How much is the drop from tein? does it rubs?

I actually did a research as well on suspensions, and luckily, one of my friend gave away his king springs.... Prolly just change to it and find a good rim afterwards....

205/45/16 Buddy Club +35 with standard suspension


205/45/16 +35 with BC coilovers. lowered to clear most speed humps, however rubs in back with 4 passengers. (it use to rub against the screw holding bumper in place, so i just removed the rear passenger side one and helped a bit)

Hi Guys,

I have fitted 17" to my 2007 Vti-s, they are 17 x 7 +40, I have lowered it with Tein Coils.
I have had the rear Guards rolled too, I have also modified the Rear Bar where it attaches to the Quarter Panel,
by moving the Screw that holds the the Bar to the Quarter. I shortened the Plastic Bracket that the Bar clips into,
Relocating the Screw further up inside the Bar. I have had Plenty of weight in the rear of it and it does not Scrub.
Hope this might be of help to others who are having a good time with Scrubbers, lol.

Looking, 17" is better.
Handling, 16" is better.
For Jazz, i would like 17" for Looking purpose.

Hi threesix,

I will try to get a couple of pics for you to see what I did, I will have to jack the Car up and remove a wheel, hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to do it for you.
But if you look at the Rear Bumper Bar, where it attaches to the Rear Quarter(the pointy end at the Wheel Arch), you will see a Screw.
If you remove that Screw, and pull carefully on the Bumper, it will come away from the Plastic Bracket, which is attached to the Steel part of the Quarter Panel.
I held the Bar far enough away from this Plastic Bracket to be able to shorten it approx 1" with a Hacksaw Blade, then pushed and clipped the Bumper back into place where it goes.
I then drilled carefully from the inside or the Guard, straight up through one of the Notches in the Bar
and into the Plastic Bracket, therefore holding it as per factory, but further away from the outside edge of the Tyres.

cheers !
