well you will need 4x100 but if your lowering 60mm you will need to do some arch modification as et35 will probably cause you problems

its how far the wheel sticks out basically, a corsa is et 49 anything below this sticks out anything higher sits closer to the car with 35 it will stick out a fair bit meaning you will bang on the arches at standard hiegth so lots of mods to get them to fit at 60 mm down

With those wheels you would have to slam it euro style imo. so it could be worth looking at getting extended arches to enable you to have them with no rubbing. Would also make the car look wider

you might be able to get your arches flared out but im not sure if they would be able to get them out enough. I think jimmy2.1 has just put wider arches on his so could be worth dropping him a u2u

Mine are 8" wide on et 30.
7" wide on et 35 will go on EASY with the usual arch work (cut back the inner metal arch and bond the plastic arch back on with sikaflex)
Put 195/45/15 tyres on

for the arches i've got on or the arch work i mentioned earlier? If its the usual Corsa arch work, it'll cost you a good tube of bonding glue.
For arches like mine, it depend on the bodyshop
