allesio 2's are the perfect offset for Corsa B's and would need no work. You could lower 60mm and still no arch work

most tires are different some have more beveled edges than others.

you will have to put them on and see but theres an 80-90% chance you wont need any arch work...

on my et40's 195-45-16 width 7 inches mine catch on the back with a full car but im not lowered. all i did was get a stanley knife and trim the arch back a bit.
dunno if this is right as everyone says do the arch bolts but it doesnt seem to catch on them but does catch on the arches still occasionly. what should i do jus trim it back a bit more?
