Many thanks all I'm going to enquire about the spacer option, others have said the same, i think it'll only need 2 b a few mm fingers crossed. Will watch out for catching on the outer arch. Appreciate your help JB:)

As far as I know it hasn't been lowered, i also presume that these wheels are OK for the car and I shouldn't have to change them? Plastic liners for the front arches - is that a DIY job or through a dealer?

Hello all, I am a newbie to this forum and also to the world of Corrado's having only had my 1.8 16V for about 5 months. It's a beauty :D but one big problem... I bought the car with non standard wheels. They're 17" VW alloys, 205/40 marked on the tyres. There is definite rubbing of the inside of the front tyres on the front and back of the wheel arches (mostly when steering is on full lock) This has caused lots of wear and recently a slow puncture :( As you can probably tell, my knowledge of car technicalities is pretty small in comparison to my appreciation for a beautiful looking automobile! What are my options? Should i change the wheels? Arch mods? Would be very grateful for some help. Many thanks J
