Why would you want to fit 19's? It will look like a moon buggy.

Don't fit the kit, strip it out and fit a GSi kit and some 16" Speedlines.

We need to stop recommending that, GSis on Speedlines are nice and rare at the moment!

19s are just rididculas i know they look ok on some cars eg scrivs rip, but they just completlely ruin the drivability. I wouldnt even put 17s on a corsa personally.

I cannot understand why though? Wheelbase still sell them for £700 with budget tyres so there not anymore expensive than a decent set of 17's.

Get mine in a couple of weeks.

i bought the car as it had the 19's! mm yes they filled the arches a treat and looked superb but do you want to have to fork out £700 for 4 new tyres?
it eats driveshafts unless your careful with the power and eventually wore all the wheel bearings up, and the track rod end's!
i replaced most of the bits but the wheels in effect caused my crash and i was doing 40 mph!
i would stick with 17's and a kit not the combat 2 as it weighs so much and will ruin the aerodynamics of the car!
my old car taught me a very valuable lesson

Got 19's om mine but it DEFO needs them to fill arches, any smaller and they dont look right imo on my kit.

Taken into mind wot happened tho with brads corsa, so itl be checked often and changed
