new to the forum but ive just got a corsa 99 on a T reg its a 1.7 diesel
non turbo envoy! as you can imagine its pretty basic so i want to make it look a bit better!
ive seen some alloys on ebay from an M reg cavalier and wondered if these would fit straight on the corsa?
there the propellor type alloy wheel, ive seen them fitted to nova's but not corsa's.
does anyone know?
cheers

et 49
pcd 100
4 stud
That's ideal the offset can vary but you may have arch issues, realistically et45-49 is ok for a 40mm drop but if u vary more u will need to do some work

nice one thanks for that guys! if the offset is out can it just be sorted with spacers? im not going to lower it as it pulls stuff about and would play hell with the rear suspension trying to hook up the trailer to it!

Cant be sorted with spacers because that would make the offset worse !!! if you have ET45 and put on 7 mm spacers say that would be ET38 which would be worse

legally nothing can protrude from your arch so it needs to sit inside, et45 will be fine.... i said 40mm drop cos 17s won't go 60 but 16s or below wud 
ure standards if VX will most likely be et49

so the cav wheels should fit then?
while the stud pattern be the same? they are 4 studs.
should look a bit better than the rusty standard steel wheels that are on it now!
