Thinkin of dropping the Arosa

Alright guys and girls. I'm a new member of the forum, from Glasgow and drive a 1.0 Red Arosa.

Sitting on 15's atm with 195/50/15 tyres.

The plan is to take off these tyres, powder coat the wheels white, replace the tyres with 195/40/15 and then fit lowering springs which will drop it 40mm.

This a good idea?

I'm looking for advice and constructive critisicsm lol.

Cheers folks

Stu:D

Sounds like a tip top idea to me :D Red cars always look superb with white wheels. Lunalupi on here has got white wheels on her Arosa and its a stunning combination. As for lowering you cant go far wrong at all, these 'wee beasties' are pretty high to begin with :D

Speak of the devil ;)

That sounds like an excellent plan - although you might even get away with a bit more of a drop on the bigger wheels

evenin mate , im here from glasgow as well , anyway , yeah 195/50's are a fraction larger than what we would normally run ( 195/45/15) but still if your only dropping it 40mm you should be fine even with the fractionally larger tyres . if your looking for a powder coater try ESP in saracen i have a phone number here as well if you want , i went in and got a quote and to get the wheels shot blasted clean any kerbing fix and powder coated on a 15" rim was £35 a wheel

Used to run 8" wide rims on my arosa and that was down 80mm so you should be fine mate. Post up pics as well as I always wanted mine coated white (was a red arosa too)
