Thanks for all your help guys. It's time for some new wheels...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!:mad:

The 1000th post on this subject...

Mine is lowered 40mm with 16's on (ET45) and I had problems at first! With more than 3 people in going over bumps on the motorway the tyres catched loads! I grinded them down as far as possible and skimmed the plastic arch an now I can have 5 in. Don't assume it will work ok mate, everyone said I would be alright and I wasn't. But to be fair I wish I had gone for 17's now, so think about considering them, u may have to do arch work anyway!

Yes 16's will go on no prob's and with the correct offset even lowered upto 60mm should be fine.

Mikorsa16v, I had same banging exhaust problem with mine lowered 60mm.
Under the car behind the backbox you will see a large U shapped bracket with 2 bolts on the bottom of it. Slacken them and turn the bracket round so they point to the side, even move it back/forward slightly from where it's banging.... that easy, problem solved ;)
Or if you can't do it take it to a garage when it's quiet and I'm sure they'd do it for nothing (they did for me!)

i have a 1.2 '99 with 16"x7" ET 45 lowered about 50mm on Nova -40mm suspension didnt de bolt and its fine! no rubbing, but the zaust bracket bangs a bit :(
also goin 80 over a big bump i heard my tyres go mmmmmmmmmmm in the arches, thats the only time tho

yes! i evn lowered mine 60mm all round an still no probs

I want to replace the standard 13" wheels on my '99 Corsa B 1.2 . Will 16's go on without any modifications? I want my new wheels quick and easy! Thanks for your help.:thumbs:
