i had et35 also lowered 40mm & it rubbed with the 195/50 tyres, once swapped to 195/45 tyres then i had no rubbin

i had 15" et35 no lowerin. no probs.
:thumbs:

my 15s were et33 :!
rubbed like fkc with no lowerin

most 17's are 7.5 inch so u can get away with a slightly lower offset with 7 inch, though i still reckon you couldn't lower it

205 40's bro, i think your right about them being 7" wide actually.
some1 told me that your the man to talk to about wheels.

yeah, email me them

only other thing i can think is that they are 7" wide

what profile are the tyres

the wheels dont stick out at all, and the car aint high at all, can just about get a finger in the gap between the back wheel and arch, and the fronts a touch higher.

so the only problem should be lowerin it.
k thanks. by the way its a corsa b. if u wanna see pics i can send em.

u cant lower at all on 17's et37 ur car must look like a roller skate

the offset aint so big a deal on say 14 or 15 wheels but any bigger and offset is the main problem

u never said if it was a corsa b or c

as soon as its lowered and people are in the back, say bye bye to arch rims. Those wheels must stick out like crazy. I bet your handling suffers terribly too right?

thats cos u aint lowered it mate

people who get 17s lower it as well otherwise it looks like a monster truck, i very dout ull be able to lower 40mm with et37 and not do any major arch work

even when i hav shit in my boot and people in the back the car is sittin on its ass and not scrubbin at all?

exactly u cant lower it at all. do wot they say stick wi 45-49 et and u cant go wrong. mine r et42 17's lowered 40 mm and i had big problems. i had to knock my arches out and then have then smoothed on the outside so u couldnt see where i had knocked them out. cost alot

got sum 17s off a golf et 37 and they fitted on my car with no problems,
not rubbing at all. So whats with people sayin you MUST HAVE ET 45-49?
the only problem ive been told of so far is with lowering? u cant go too low with et37s? is that the only problem?
my last wheels were 15's also et 37.
