The standard offset on most Vauxhall wheels is ET49. When changing for larger wheels, these tend to be wider. A slightly lower offset will therefore be needed. On smaller Vauxhalls, such as Nova and Corsa, it is imperative to stick with a minimum offset of ET45. For some other models this is less important.

Ok thanks guys, sounds like i best leave this post now.

I'll do a search in future TOMAS.

I have et 49, and they rubbed when i put them on with a 40mm drop, so i cut the arch and twatted it out with a mallet and now its ok. problem solved. Pics in garage

OHHH MYYYY GODDD !!!! here we go again...

Please oh please, do a search. Their MUST now be at least 1000 posts on this :rolleyes:

THE offset will be stamped on the back on the wheels

what wheels are they bud ?

Offset of 45, Corsa B

b or c?

how do you know that they are the right offset? Do you actually know what the offset is? Who told you they are the "correct" offset?

Ive had some 17's with the right offset fitted to my Corsa, has anyone had any problems with them rubbing?

They told me they would be fine but they catch sometimes and passengers are a nono.

Is trimming the archs a must?
