Cheers mate :)
I need a bit of arch work on the passenger side rear, but just the basic stuff I think. I'm too lazy and not done it yet, I can live with it as it is for now.

btw, nice car, 60mm looks like a good drop, did u need arches cutting?

cool, thanks for that m8

i like the PSG2 Wide arch kit

Depends if u wanna put a subtle kit on it also. For the mix between the two, i'd say 16"s.

This way u can still get a few decent bodykits (none of the combat stuff).

thanks m8, first decent answer yet :D looks like 15s it is

1. How much difference do 15s make from 14s

none if you have 45 profile tyres.
Handles bloody great on a 40mmdrop

2. how much difference is 16s from 14s

big difference. Noted a massive decrease in pull from 15"s to 16"s
Handling shouldn't be any better that 15"s. Will roll more due to bigger alloys, but still ok.

3. how much difference is 17s from 14s

Major, say bye bye to acceleration and top speed (unless u had the power to make it faster which u wont in a 1.2)
handling wise, say goodbye to track days etc. Unless u've had lots of arch work done, there is no chance u could rag it round a corsa like u could on 15"s or 16"s.

cheers :thumbs:

S'ok ;)

oh yeah my car is a 1.2 8 valve its slow but very insurance friendly, will look sweet 2 i hope

i have ordered 17's for my 5 door corsa, i was looking at 16's but there is very few wheels that come in 16's et45 or above i have been looking for a week and couldnt find any i like.
If u want looks 17's look way better than 16's, they just stand out more

Anyone on here got 16s on a 1.2 16V?

i got a set of rollerblades that dont fit me if u want the wheels off them. they only done about 20miles, plenty of tread left, one careful lady owner, good little runners, etc etc

u want 195/40/16's ideally expensive tho

sorry to hi-jac this post but is there alot of differance in height between 195/45/16 and 185/55/15?

I need to now cos i will be getting a set of alloys fitted soon and am hoping the car wont sit to high, its a corsa C btw.:o

i culd do with runing 12's

get sum 15s for handlin, 16s for a bit of handlin an luks and 17s for outright luks. i run 14s meself.

mine, i kno and thats why i dont want it any slower!

Not if u get the right profile tyre. itll be slower on 17s.

hhmm, arnt 16" tyres expensive to cos they are rarer than the other sizes. also, will my car be a lot slower on 16s?

the bigger u go the slower ul go, 17s will need arch mods no doubt. 16`s r a sensible choice. Wont handle as well with 17s. 15s r good 4 handlin but ur usually limited as to wot wheels available. + the bigger u go the more lower profile tyre ul need makin ur wheels mor vulnerable.

Lookin into gettin some alloys soon but dont know what size to get! My car is only a SXi 1.2 16V and my mate has got the same. he has 17s on and now its soooo slow my mums 1.0 micra could beat it in a race. he has to ride the clutch to get it to go and i dont really want this.

BUT...

on the other hand they look class and 15s look a bit small.

someone please answer these questions...

1. How much difference do 15s make from 14s

2. how much difference is 16s from 14s

3. how much difference is 17s from 14s

in every aspect, such as handeling, speed, etc.

cheers :thumbs:
