I had on et37, -40mm and 195/45's hancook tyres and mine didn't rub at all but now I put 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1's on and it rubs when you go over a bump with 3 in the back.

shit daimo, i didnt realise it was that bad. the reason i was going down in size is so it would be more practical! matt c said his was o.k at 40mm and it could probably go lower.

im confused now :lol:

My old 15"s were et35, lowered -35mm, and it used to be great fun. Couldn't carry people in the back, but due to the wideness in the track of the wheels, it handled great :D :D Torque steer and cambers in the road were a nightmare though :lol:

they'll be fine, i ran et35 lowered 40mm on my corsa for 2 years

dont let people put you off with all the bullshit about handling etc, corsa's have shite handling anyhow, et37 will not make any difference.

if the car is properly setup then it'll handle perfectly

drive your mates & see what u think

what do you think. im going down in size from 17's to 15's. the ones i want are et37. so far all the people i have spoken to have said that there wont be any problems at all. m4tt c has got et37 o.z super leggera on his corsa and he said they are fine. im just worried about spending the money on them and it not going to plan.

what do you lot think?

cheers
