OZ do not do corsa offset, they are not even close to corsa offset

so u'll need to do more than grind, i reckon u'll need to cut back the arches

what offset are they?

205 45 not only are wider than 195 45 but the sidewall is higher too. its mainly your tyres and the fact that oz wheels are totally the wrong offset. to be honest ure bettwer off changing them.

well ive checked under the plastic arch and their is a metal flange thier with can do with a trim but the plastic arch will be cutting it a bit fine! you dont get much their to play with do you!

if u lower it, this will make it worse. 16's shouldn't rub but being oz their not a good offset.

can't roll corsa back arches, u could change tyre's to 205/40. otherwise a bit of surgery is gonna b necessary

well they have 205/45 on them and they are just as thick as the wheel! do you think think the sus would sort it?

for 16's tyres' should b 195/45, tyre's too wide maybe

hi every one. i got a 1998 corsa and have recently put some 16" OZ super turismos with 205/45 tyres on it and it rubs like mad on the back! is thier any way to stop this as i have seen many corsa's with 16" droped into their arches! and it looks good but!
also do you think stiffer sus would do the job? it lowers it by 40 at the bk and 20 at the front. please help lads :wave:
