ive got some alloys that do fit my corsa - JUST!

i think the offset is ET40, they just sit levil with my arch.

if i lower my car will it catch?

if they will, would they still if i got a wide arch kit? or is it the metal of the quarter that its hitting?

thanks

et 40 will scrape on standard arches, even when u de bolt them and bash them out..... if i was u i d either change the wheels or as u say get a wide arch bit but u will still need a fair bit of work doing.........

if u get the wide arches u need to cut away the metal but will fit fine if u cut away the metal, if u dont go wide arch then it will rub like a bitch if u lower it, i had et 38 15's on my corsa and it rubbed like a mofo it wore away the plastic arch then the metal scrubbed on tyrem, it polished the metal nice and shiney tho lol

isnt there any way of machining the actual wheel to reduce/increase the offset?
