    Default Vectra (150) 2005 1.9 cdti Wheels

    Hello!

    I have a 2005 SRi (facelift) and... I know, I know... it's too low! I've moved to Portugal and I've already done a lot of damage to the front skirt... lowered cars just don't work here!

    Can I put 'normal' wheels on it? Is there a maximum size?

    Thanks in adavance!

    I'm confused, is it to low? I can't even see it to agree is too low.
    What are normal wheels? All Vectras/Signums have normal wheels don't they?
    Is there a maximum size? Well yes they have to fit under the arches don't they?

    Ditch the lowered SRi suspension for standard suspension that is fitted to the Design, Elite, elegance, etc trim levels.

    standard sport suspension is not that low... so the car must be at least on lowering springs, but my guess is hes running coilovers.. and if that is the case even the highest setting will be lower than standard sport suspension... wheels aren't the problem the ride height is... get standard sri springs and shocks that should sort it..

    Are there any coilovers, or any kind of setup that can make it higher than normal suspension (Opel Vectra estate 07' Z19DTH, IDK which trim is it)?
    I would like to be able to use my car more comfortably on a bad gravel roads.
    This is my first post, so hello everyone.

    you can go for an airbag suspension kit and replace the lot or get the springs for the lowest spec vectra ... they aren't lowered so are up about 25mm higher on all 4 springs... but you'll need matching oem shocks as if you got oem sport shocks than the body is 15mm shorter than the non sport variants.

    I'm not using it offroad or bad gravel daily. But as i like to travel to remote places, mostly mountains from time to time, I was thinking about to get some decent height adjustable suspension to cover my offroad/bad roads needs, having stiffer and lower setup for longer tarmac journeys and racing, as well something in the middle for daily use. Guess I'm out of luck. Air suspension is way more expensive than my whole car is worth. Guess I'll just replace my 17" 205/45 tires for something between 55-65 thick, and call it a day.
