    Welcome, dude.

    I'm not really a fan of that car you have there, but I wish you all the best luck with it.

    You fail.

    Opel is a German manufacturer. Saturn currently sells a few rebadged Opels, the one pictured above is exactly the same as an Opel Astra. In the past, Saturn has produced many cars that share their technical platforms with Opels. Opel used to be a part of GM, but it is currently being sold.

        That's an excellent plan.

                Honestly, for the almost 2k for coils and ronal turbos, that could get you a perfectly good e30 or e36, as well as e28s (especially less desirable ones)

                    i need some help..im gonna be droppin the car about 2 inches. the rear tires, because the car is FWD, sits in too far and i wanna bring it out, the stock wheels which ill be keeping on, are 15x6. and the new tires ill be buying are 225/50R15. the stock offset is +50mm, i was what size spacers will bring the rear out to a respectable distance

                      You can get spacers anywhere from 5mm to 30mm (usually) and some go in standard size well over an inch. It's all where you want them to be.

                            so, in my search for wheels, i came across koning remembers, replicas of BBS'. they look nice. but, i know there replicas. so i may go with them, **** if you want but $500 compared to $1000 plus speaks to me. haha

                              Its always worth it to buy the wheels that you want rather than a wheel that will due. Wheels i think are the most important part besides coils to get the stance or look that you want. I dont think the Konigs will do well.

                              I know its "just a saturn", but hell why not be a pioneer and make your saturn stance better than any other? Show us what you can do with what you got. Thats my motto.

                              Save up and get the wheels that will do it justice. If you need spacers then do that too. I just **** to see you get bashed on the type of car your rollin.

                              If you get replica wheels, why not get some Rotas with a low offset. still cheap, but you have a better chance at getting the stance right.

                              Check it http://jlbmotorsports.com/rims/rota-list.html Check out the rota D2's in 17x8.5 You will really improve stance with these even though they are reps. I think they would work much better than the Konigs.


                              Anyway, thats just my 2 cents

                                OR


                                Order a set of these in any size and offest that you want. These would work the best. And you cant beat the price. Even cheaper than rotas and they arent knock offs

                                Get some 16x9's with et30

                                would look sick
