Which Alloys Fit Corrados

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty new to modding and need some help please! Firstly what is the largest size alloy that you can fit on a Vr6 without any need to enlarge the arches or cause probs with the steering? :?: Also what stud arrangement does the corrado take? Can I easily fit OZ Super T's without any special spacers or fitting? Thanks for any replies to this coz i'm really in the dark!

VR6 has 5x100 stud patten on the wheels, all others have 4x100.

 

With regards to sizes you can fit, it depends very much on the design of the alloy and how the spokes dish in our out as to whether they'll clear the brakes/suspension or not... Offset is also critical as well... What will fit a non VR6, may well not clear the slightly different suspension and brakes on a VR6...

 

As a general rule, 17" wheels should fit if the design and offset are correct, but tend to give a slightly harsher ride quality and may need the arches "tweaking" to avoid rubbing if you've lowered the car.

 

16" will normally fit with no problems, again providing that the offsets and design allow clearance on the suspension/brakes. Most people agree that 16s give the best compromise between handling, ride quality and looks.

 

15" are the standard size for all Corrados (except a few which had a 16" option apparently...)

 

18" can be fitted but WILL require some arch modifications to allow clearance and stop any rubbing... again design and offset are critical...

 

Hope this helps as a basic start, 8) someone will be along shortly to answer about the OZs I'm sure! :lol: 8)

Hi there mate,ive fitted 17s on my vr6 and lowered it by 35mm.They dont rub at all and can still get full lock no probs.I did need 6mm spacers on the front to clear the brakes.

 

Honestly i would say it handled better and felt smoother on the origional 15s but i preffer the look with bigger rims.
