	I don't want to prove anything yet... they have only been on for about 10 hours!!! Knowing my luck, something will go wrong. I'll get pics up over the weekend.

	Across the tread it was 7.5, they were just weird fat tyres called Stunners. Also Gambit, its lowered 40mm already

	quote: Originally posted by S21NMP Well, they were 195/50/15 tyres, but when measured across the tyre, it came out at 8" I'm just gonna have to try and get them on and sort the arches out. The reason I didn't go with 17's was because I thought I'd need nothing done fitting 16s!!! Isn't the maximum you can fit in the corsa arches 7.5"? Dunno how those 8" fitted it was on standard suspension tho. Umm a 195 tyre is approx 7.8" wide. I'd be very very surprised if the wheels were 8" wide, 8x15s aren't exactly a common wheel size.

	well ur never gonna be able to have anything or anybody in the back, or even lower it. dunno why u just didnt ask for wheels with the correct offset
S21NMP	posted on 21st Mar 03 at 09:03
	no, but I hardly have people in the back anyway.
Gambit	posted on 21st Mar 03 at 09:01
	aye but have you had anybody in the back yet!!

	Jesus! 8" ET35!! Thats a massively wide wheel with a well out offset! New wheels, I'm with Dave, get a better offset mate!!!
Cybermonkey	posted on 19th Mar 03 at 13:09
	Expect some major arch work. Dave
S21NMP	posted on 19th Mar 03 at 13:08
	Ah, I'm just hoping my new wheels go on without much rubbing, I managed to get an 8" wide 15" rim ET35 on my old Corsa, so it shouldn't be hard to get a 7" 16 ET35 on.

	the tyre can be wider then the actual wheel.
S21NMP	posted on 19th Mar 03 at 12:58
	Yeh, but the wheel was 16x6.5
3CorsaMeal	posted on 19th Mar 03 at 12:48
	where u get 6.5 from On the tyre u get 195/45/16 195 is the width of tyre, in mm = 195mm 45 is the side wall height as a percentage of the width. 16 is the size of rim its meant to fit, in inches!
S21NMP	posted on 19th Mar 03 at 12:44
	anyone?
S21NMP	posted on 18th Mar 03 at 19:38
	I am a little confused about these wheel measurements! I know that the 16" is in the centre line of the wheel, and thats why they actually measure 17" when measured from the outside lip, but does the same apply for the tyre walls? My wheels are supposed to be 6.5" thick, but they actually measure 7" thick??? PLEASE HELP!
