just the tires wear a bit dodgey cos it isnt lowered yet. i'm goin -60 this week, so that should stop the uneven tire wear.

i had et33 3yrs ago
forgot what handling was like tho but rubbed like fck lowered 40mm

The only plus point is you will get a sharper 'turn in', ie when you turn the reponce will be slightly quicker..

The 'lower' the offset the more tramlining you are going to get.

Had Et35's on the missus's corsa, and it was a PIG.. Now have Et49 and its perfect, thats with the exact same tyres.. literally the same ones..
:lol:

Stick with the manufactors standard offset as close as possible, putting the wheels out further causes tramlining, and straight line 'nervousness'..

I had Et35's on the ITR once (should be ET50) and it transformed a legendary handling car.. into a bag of shit.

i got 15's with et35


mine handles like shit!

if tramlining is couse by the size of the tyres, cobra148 stated that 195/45 et40 was fine and 195/45 et42 tramline like a pig:lol: doesn't the two set up have the same size contact patch? i am all confuse:boggle: could someone please clear this up for me? i really want to get 15" asap. but don't want to pay for the wrong set up again!

Ive got 196/45/15 et 38, OZ wheels, fit fine and handles well too, although I nearly slide sideways into the side of a van on a roud about last night. It was wet though! ;)

et 40 will be fine

i ran et35 lowered 40mm on my corsa and the handling was fine.

tramlining is simply caused by the wide tyres following the profile of the road, nothing to do with offset

thanks :thumbs: you guys have been very helpful. might go for the oz's after all, but handling is what i'm after. would i be better off staying w/ 45-49et? or the 40et would be fine? want mine to corner like is on rails, know what i mean :lol:

15" wheels 195/50 et 35 lol handles gd though...alot better than my 17" icon i had ;)

No real problems, but they're hardly ideal.

i got 195/45/15's et40 on 60mm drop, occasional rubbing but handles excellently

ive got 195/45/15" ET-42 and there fine no problems with them.

thanks luca2020 and cobra148. i guess i'll keep looking for some 15" with 45-49et. your advice was much needed. thanks :wave:

I've had ET40 with 195/45/15 tyres and had no problems at all.
I've also had ET42 with 195/50/15 rubber and it tramlined like a pig.

the fact that the 17s are et43 and the 15s are et 40 u wont get good handleing anyway

with any wheels on a corsa, if ur after handleing, et 45-49 allways

anyone out there??? can someone please give me some advice??? :look: thanks!!!

by the way, the oz's are 6.5x15 et40 :D

is anyone using 15" wheels with less then 45et? i am currently running 7x17 with 43et, and i would like to try some 15". found some oz/a111 with 40et. what do you guys think? would i get better performance and better tracking with 15" :boggle:
