if not lowering, et38 might be ok, but still low profiles (45) would be better
buy anything above et42 nearer to et49
There are some sxi alloys in classifieds...perfect offset imo

ET38 will have 2 effects
1) look wrong
2) ruin the handling
better off with ET49 (most genuine vauxhall alloys are right)
195/45 15s are better too.
combine the 2 and you'll have no trouble, but ET38 and 50 profile is a bit risky
