Don't worry about the old school boys on here :P My sigma rolls on 19s and i love it

Nice looking car btw! Just lower it and it will look sweet. Good on you for being different.

The suspension would have to be massively lowered in order to get those what looks to be 20" wheels up into the guards, but the car itself doesn't look any lower than stock whatsoever, in fact it probably is higher than stock ride height. not to mention the handling dynamics.. on a GM T car of all things which weren't known for their handling to begin with, those wheels with a huge unsprung mass would be doing wonders in the ill handling department.

I know I've shown this before but (in my opinion of course) this is how it should be done: :P

Is that a chevette wagon ??
very nice

thanks for all the comments guys, even the negative one's lol the tyre is 215/35R18, prob wanna go 225/40 for the next set as i also think that they need a bit more rubber :) yeah lowering deffinately on the cards now, just wanted to see how it would look with the wheels on first. i dunno what the offset is without the spacers but the spacers are 27mm bolt on, if that helps. for you older blokes out there that like more rubber than rim all i can say is thank god we aint all the same other wise this world would be very boring haha thanks again everyone.

front wheels are turned dude! and LOL at liking the pooper scooper vauxhall over the late Isuzu front.. i'm slowly building that car into an 84 jap ZZT replica (but with a piazza turbo motor), my mate elky has a real one i'm using for inspiration..
