i thought that cause every other company i emailed has said that et45 will be ok.

i thought that it was wrong cause surely the offset has to stay the same no matter what wheels ur puttin on.

i've been offered some konig e racers off a mate who dont want them after he fitted them to his ibiza.the offset is et45 and the pcd is 4x100 so they will fit on rite.

they are also 17's take it i wont need to trim my arches on a 40mm drop.

the replied back sayin that et49 only relates to the corsa's with steel wheels and the alloys have to be et40.am i correct by thinkin this is total bollocks or are they rite.
They lie. They are saying that because no one really makes ET 49 alloys. ET 49 is the ideal offset, 45 is good, 42 you can live with the odd bump every now and then, onec you get past 40 you're probably going to need to get trimming the arches away. Though there are people who say thwy have ET 38's and have no troubles. The only way to find out is to give them a go i'm affraid.

depends on the width due to wider rim will need lower offset so does rubb inner part or arch!

i was under the impression that et45 or higher will b ok for 17's on a 40mm drop.yet i'm bein told by this site that et40 has to b the offset cause they are alloy.

rite i want to put 17's on my corsa as with the 15's i have on at the moment my bodykit sits about 1 inch off the floor.

the problem i got is that my arches have been filled to the car and if the wheel hits they will crack so i need the best ofset of wheel can get and the stiffest suspension possible i am on a budget of about £200 i've already lowered it 40mm will this need to be made 35mm or not.
