have got 15'' alloys on my corsa but with a terrible offset of 35.

They are wolfrace LH1 (lionhart) in the polished style.

Thing is, my car looks like a 4x4 at the moment and i hate it! just wondered whether it would be possible to put some springs on for the time being until i can sort out the wheels?

Not sure whether to go 40mm or 50mm though as 40mm leaves quite a big gap between the front arches and the tyres.

What does everyone recommend?

Thanks.

ye 35 really not ideal. if ur wanting to go lower ul most prob need arch work which is bout 25 quid per arch. so for 100 quid id say it worth it. as ul b happy with it.

what does arch work involve? i heard you can d.i.y with a hammer knocking the inner arch out?

if the arches do have to be done i will go lower but not sure what it involves.

Try debolting, then if that fails you could get them flared/rolled like mine were when it was on 17's, Next time i see you I'll show you how much the rear was pulled out
