Wheel offset is the difference between the bolt face, and the wheel's centre. | |

Miglias are chunky wheels, which could be why they foul on your breaks at ET45, try another make of ET45 alloy like Dare, there spokes are thinner in depth and i imagine would be fine. | |

yes i meant i would need extended wheel bolts if i was to get spacers, another thing is that they did not rub much before unless i had a car with a few people init but i had a crash and now they rub constantly could it be that my suspension could be buggeres if so is it easy for vauxhaul to check it?, i have had the arches de-bolted already and rolled. | |

you probably need to just de bolt the rear arches (if you can do that on a corsa c). have a look under the rear arches and any places where you think might scrub, cut them off and smooth them down | |

spacers decrease the offset and make the wheels stick out further. | |

ET 40 is the correct offset for a corsa c sri. | |

ok then if you have seen my prev thread ive got a set of tsw venom 17" with et 40 off set and they scrub like mad on my corsa c sri. But i also have a set of miglia 1000 actions at et 45 which dont scrub but i would need extended wheel bolts and spacers to get em past the brakes, so if they are et 45 would i need 4 mm spacers to make it et 49? or would that make it et 40?, if u wana know the story my venoms at et40 were suggested to me by a company because they said that the actions at et 45 were the wrong offset and they promiused i wouldnt have any problems grrrrr. any help much appreciated, would it just be better to just go for 16" wheels? |
