at the mo ive got 16's on my car, and its lowered 60mm all round, looks like this (sideskirts going on tomorrow

)

I was thinking of lowering it back up to 30 or 40 and getting 18's with 30 or 35mm tyres.

What do you think? and has anyone got any similar pics with this setup?
Would be very greatful

But they’re only 16’s L. Lower it up as in, swap my 60mm drop springs for 30 or 40mm drop

I think high cars look cr@p. especially corsas. Was your car a 1litre or something to start with, thats still pretty high considering its suppost to be 60mm.

No mate, it’s a SRI, incase the red strip and ‘SRI’ writing didn’t give it away. And its defiantly lowered 60mm

You must have an imperial 60mm drop, obviously bigger then a metric 60mm drop. he he

peeps aint got 18's cuz they look shite. you'll end up getting the wrong offset, they'll stick out a mile, the car will be so high and you'll just put foot high sideskirts on the side with steps moulded into them

So what? Stick with 16s if you can your car to at least handle. I have 15s on mine!

Looks sweet as it is, I personally think 16's/17's are enough on a Corsa, any bigger and it looks about 2 feet in the air.

The statement "But there ONLY 15's/16's" is wrong and old now! I had 15's then moved to 17's and to be honest its not the wheel size its the overall effect! I think 14" x 8" are cool so long as its either not kitted or a subtle kit and slammed to the deck!! Each to their own, yeah 18's if you fit a BIG fook-off mental kit but to me the 'new skool euro look' can look as good if not better than these mad excentric 'look at me' cars. Just my oppinion...

New skool euro will be big!
