I would sell it mate, chopped down a bit cos i was gonna fit it. Will still fit, tenner+P&P.

Wheels r 7x17, either ET48 or ET45 offset. Will they fit ok if they're ET45? Havin a trial run on friday, two 15 stone blokes in the back round a bumpy car park! Just worried about the arch bolts.

I just looked on Evo's website and they say the wheels are 7x17, not 6.5x17 like he said. I'm bloody sick of this, gonna hve to go up in the morning to see him again. How hard is it to get 6.5x16's with ET45, they reckon it's really hard but i dont know if they're just sayin it. Cars lookin sweet by the way, i had a toledo splitter to put on mine, still in the garage tho! Reiger extension came along insted!:D

Decision time then. I've told the bloke in the shop i want three people in the back and to drive round the car park. If it scrubs they're gettin took off and i'm not payin. He said fine!

My corsa's purple(aurora) with smoked lenses and the like, a dark car with black mesh too. Would anthracite wheels look better than normal, don't know if it would end up been too dark?

You absolutely sure mate cos i'm sick of problems with wheels.
First thing i got wqhen i got my corsa, was very naive when it came to modifying and ended up gettin et38 15's. Scrubs with only me in the car if i hit a harsh bump!

They're nothing special, raceline 115 5 spoke, just like the design and on a very limited budget, wanted 16's but these are on special deal.

6.5x17.
ET45.
Cars lowered 40mm.

Will these wheels fit ok with no scrubbing at all? I know they should fit under the archs ok but will they hit on the bolts cos i cant take the archs off to de-bolt because of the skirts i've got, they cover part of the archs.

As much advice/opinions as poss please.
