Did post a thread on this before but it never really came to a conclusion...

Basically the wheels i wanna fit are ET 45 7.5x17", car is lowered 40mm on shocks and springs.

I'm aware i'm gonna have to de-bolt and perhaps shave the ourside arch..

BUT being 7.5" wide is this gonna foul on the inside? Wondering if anyone has experience of it?

7.5" is too wide for the Corsa arch. The outside edge would sit in the same place as an ET33 wheel on the car.

oh rite, i forgot the offset is measured from the centre of the rim isnt it... so a 13mm wider rim will drop the offset back down by about 6-7mm.

Is that right?
