Im considering getting some for my 1.6 Sport but could do with some pics of them on a black corsa if anyone had any.
Im looking at either 15" or 16" and maybe a 30odd mm drop, would this be ok with the 195/45-16 Tyres.

Any other opinions or wheel suggestion's would be great.

Thanks

IIRC the offset isn't Corsa friendly?

Ive seen some 100+ Monza's in 16" with an offset of 45. Would these be ok.
Its either them or 15" with the correct 49offset.

the oz super t, 16s you may be ok, i tried 17's and couldnt lower, plus with my 2ltr didnt want such a low offset as just extra stress on components!

Id say 100+, or pro comp 1's as there the right offset!!

Black corsa does look good with those 16's

Which is correct offset for the corsa then? I thougth it was ET 45? or is it 49?

I see some corsa's with TSW's razors (well most around my area :lol and the alloys line up with the arches instead of being underneath, looks neat IMO but very unrealistic (I.E rubbing)

Correct offset for a corsa is et49.
This is a handy tool for working out difference in tyres sizes/speedo reading etc

That corsa belongs to my brother

The OZ wheels have ET offset of 37, and at that moment the corsa was APEX lowerd 60/40 mm. At the front no problems, at the backside he did remove the plastic bolts from the plastic wheelarch, and used glue/kit to mount the arch. After that no problem, even not with 4 persons travelling.

The OZ are sold, now the car is lowerd with a Koni Kit, now driving again on the speedlines.

I understand what you're saying, that ET 49 is correct for corsa..so ET 45 would mean the alloys are further into the arches, i.e. closer in to the car? or further out and riding close to arches? sorry for all the questions

further out!!!
et 45 i have on 17s and can lower the front 60mm,
you dont want the offest to high or they hit the coilover, suspension, or too far out and they hit the arch

Surely the smaller offset means the wheel will sit further in towards the car body.

At least thats how it reads here;
