Lowering and wheel spacers
Want to lower and maybe spacers on my 2017 GTC 1.6cdti limited edition, there is a good 40mm/45mm space from wheel to arch on front and back, I have 20" rims on with factory 245/45/20 tires. Have measured the wheels with a straight edge to get distance from arch, 20mm spacers would be out past a bit 15mm maybe good front and back, any pics or feedback welcome

19” Sri wheel with tyres
Just recieved my car yesterday but want to down size my 19” to 18”
What would they be worth?
They have some minor rim marks and scuffs but nothing excessive. Tyres are very good treads.
Just looking at what they would bring and what to swap them for?
Any advice?[Image:

Water leak in boot, spare wheel
Hi
My Astra has a leak in the boot, where the spare wheel is. The boot itself is dry. But there is damp on the back seat and the passenger footwellis wet.
I have just taken it to my local Vauxhall Dealer, they did tests all day, could not find out where the leak was. They said they would need to take out the carpet, seats and take off the bumper to find out more. Would be 6 hours labour. Im picking the car up tomorrow. It would cost over £400 before any parts.
Any ideas? Thanks

space saver wheel
Hi All, I am still after a space saver wheel for my 63 plate gtc ,I did purchase a new but second hand one & I thought great, but when I tried to fit it, the studs didn't line up, they was only a fraction out & didn't want to force the wheel on. I was told it came off a J GTC, so perhaps mine isn't a " J " but I didn't know there was a difference. Luckily I was able to return the wheel. I was also told that a s/saver from a Cascada will fit , any help will be appreciated, thanks
2017 GTC Limited edition - Front wheel noise
Hello,
The cars 3 years old now and has started making a strange sound from the front wheel when turning to the right. Its like a grinding noise. It started about a month after the front brake disc & pads where changed.
It is most noticeable at low speed and happens when going forward or in reverse.
When I first got the car i took it back to the dealer as at speeds of around 40MPH and above there was a wining sound, only noticable when the windows are open. They couldn't find a problem
GTC limited edition alloy wheel paint code
Ive refurbed alloys in the past using a dremel, varying git sandpaper, filler, primer, paint and clear coats. Generally it has turned out well.
I plan to try to do the same to my GTC limited edition alloys soon. Originally I thought they where diamond cut due to the coloring and texture, but at closer inspection and a bit of sanding I believe them to be painted.

Steering wheel from Astra K
Hello, guys. Does someone knows or have made this type of change to his car. Steering wheel from Astra K and to put it in J model.
Broken wheel stud
Hello :P
The wheel change company I used managed break one of the wheel studs when they remounted my wheels. Is this possible to replace? or do you need to replace the whole wheel bearing?
From the looks on youtube from other car brands, it looks pretty simple, remove the disc brakes, knock the broken wheel stud out with a hammer, replace with a new wheel stud. Is this equally simple on a Vauxhall astra? Money is a bit thight so I would ideally do it myself if it's an easy job.
Alloy Wheel Size - Smaller
Hi all,
Sorry for the really stupid email but thought I'd ask a group of people who'll know more than me.
I purchased an Astra GTC Limited Edition for my wife which came as standard with the 20" wheels.
Unfortunately the road she takes to work is damaged with nasty pot holes and shes damaged her alloys.
I'm looking to get these sent in for repair but we going to put on a set of 18" alloys (can't go lower due to size of the brake kit fitted) but I'm unsure of the wheel setup.
