make sure you get the right offset and have ur arches rolled or cut away so you get no rubbing or catching,
i have my gsi down 60mm on 15's and it catches so i have to get my arches done

that silver corsa is stunning!!!
i am also gonna be lowering mine too... should i worry too much about the front camber being out? standard 14" 3 spokes on there for now, is there anything else i need to know? no need to relocate anything like pipes for stuff etc is there?

i just dont want to do anything to the arches,

i am worrying about this mate mines lowered 60mm i'm fitting speedlines soon i don't want any rubbing at all are they will be coming off
will i get:
rubbing on 60mm?
lose any speed from fitting bigger alloys? (from my 15"s c sxi rims)
speedlines are the right off set so will they be ok on my corsa b lowered 60mm
p.s did anyone get any rubbing when they have fitted 16's on 60mm drop? + even with people in the back etc?? ^^^^^

Softstars or Speedlines will not rub when lowered, they are a 49 offset which is perfect. Your 15's that rub will be a crap offset which is why they do rub.
