shouldn't do, I'm pretty sure thats the size most people use on 16's. As you're only lowered 40mm and the offset isn't too far wrong it should be fine.

i thought 195/40/16 tyres would rub :/

they shouldn't stick out enough to fail an mot, and if you're only lowering by 40mm, 195/40/16 tyres will be fine.

not really to bothered about if they stick out or are we talkin failing MOT?
And so with a low profile tyre there should be no rubbing ?

basically the et number is how far into the wheel the hub sits

the higher the number the further in it goes

really on a corsa b it should be 45-49. so sri wheels will stick out slightly more than recomended

Right, my corsa b is lowered 40mm all round.

Im either getting corsa c sxi alloys (15") or Corsa c SRi alloys (16")

Now id much rather have the sri because i prefer the look of them, however,
because there 16" i dont know if im gona have any problems with fitting/ rubbing etc?
Any advice for what i should go for?

Which alloys or tyre size etc?
Any help would be greatful!
