Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
Hi guys I've had my astra for 3month and I'm happy how it's looking what do you lot think it's a 1.4 Sri 2012 plate new 19 inch alloys retro fitted subaru exhaust
I've got the standard 17" Elite wheels on the Tourer at the moment and I'm looking to get 18's instead. Unfortunately the only OEM wheels I like (within my budget) are off the GTC. Obviously they have the same stud pattern, but is there anything else I need to consider i.e. spacers or will they just bolt on. Thanks
I live in the West Mid's and I've recently been thinking about getting my car re-mapped.
However, I've read online that because the 2.0 CDTI unit in my 14 plate Tourer has S/S the ECU has to be completely removed and sent away to get reprogrammed which usual takes a couple of days. Unfortunately, as the car is in constant use this just isn't an option.
So, does anyone know whether this is still the case and can anyone recommend anyone in my area who can do the remap?

Very new to the whole wheel/tyre replacement thing. My Astra J (2.0CDTi) is in need of new tyres and I thought I'd contemplate changing up the look in the process. It currently has the factory set fitted (7J x 17 offset 44).
I was looking at a set of larger VXR style wheels (8J x 18 offset 42), but just wanted some clarification as to whether these will be a safe fit? I noticed the factory 18" configuration has an offset of 46 and despite searching, I can't seem to determine if the difference will have any negative impact with my level of understanding.
Presuming all is good, will the changeover be a straight swap otherwise? Are there any other factors I need to consider? Bar the need for larger tyres, obviously!
Only came on here to get some advise on how to remove the sun visor (thanks Rusty). That was about a week ago, in that time I've spent about £120 on various bits n bobs and plan to spend even more on a bigger set of wheels, just don't tell the Mrs. lol
