rofl good luck is all i can say

not without a crazy ET and even then it doesnt mean they would fit due to them sitting so far back from the hub

if they were 13/14's then it could work with a bit of off set and stretch

for example i have 7x13 et20 spaced out 5mm on back and get a bit of scrub every now and then

lukeD is runing 14x8 ET29 and he has chopped arch out etc gets a bit of scrubbage sometimes

nothing is impossible with imagination and money but yer, without wide arches your pissing in the wind

lulz i dont know why everyone chooses those wheels

they are too big for the 'euro/clened look' on a corsa, just dont look right without some huge arches

also a 195 on an 8" rim will give next to no stretch which again will not help with clearence, you can get a 165 on a 8" jus so you know ...

alot of people want them and then ask the question of wether they will fit, if the search was here you would be able to see ...

If you don't want a lot of stretch ,you are going to be VERY limited on what widths and off sets you can run

try going for something different wheel wise, use your imagination.

anyone can go and buy some off the shelf rims ...

by all means get some rh cups or whatever but then customize it.

you will get far more recognition and respect from folk that can tell you have put some thought and effort behind the modification rather then whacking 'em straight on.
