Thinking of getting some, wondering if spacers are needed at all, im on speedlines which might be a good wheel for the corsa but could cause problems if fitting new suspension..........i'm assuming the inside of the tyre would be very close?

ive heard that they rub and need spacers as the fit is too perfect on them both that they touch

I think speedlines are a 49 offset, which means there is a slight chance they may catch yes, but small helper springs and 4mm of spacing to make the wheel et45 should sort it.

My plastic arches have already been cut, think thats because it used to have different wheels on it, seem to have bags of room anyway, 4mm spacer shouldn't give me any scrub then. I do have a problem with my centre caps, the stub shafts are eating away at them, wondered what that grinding noise was, only noticed when i have my new tyres put on..........OMG metal filings!
