I have a X reg Corsa B, just wanted to know what sort of fitment information I need to know about my car, so I know whether the alloys will fit?

Thanks in advance. :?

as close to et49 as you can get, wouldnt go any less then about 42 otherwise you will run into problems. What size were you thinking?

yes....
but then so are 15, and 16's.

17's just look too big, and will rub your arches ALL the time.

went for a set of astra GSI blade rims on mine, 15" and they tram line quite a bit and they are a git when breaking as it pulls all over the place depending on camber of road. wouldnt go more than 16" as you will as stated above run into problems and will have to ether roll your arches or have some other arch work done.

I've had 15/16/17. would stay away from 17's as handling and acceleration are affected and not for the better!

If you want a mix of practicality and looks then 16's

If you want the best for performance 15's
