My mate wants some alloys for his silver corsa!!

I know the perfect offset for corsas is 49 and usually anything between 42-49 will be ok, but most people have there car lowered!!

Hes seen a few sets (15") that will fit on, but the offset is 35!!

Will this be bad for the car, and will it have an affect on steering, etc or will they be ok!! His car is not lowered so I didnt think theyd rub!?

Help me out!???

Cheers

get better offset wheels and they should be fine...I have lowered mine 50mm on et42 and they are great...

...nothing to mod like arches, bolt etc...

no it was fine at the time it wasnt lowered. no rubbing anything of the sort...but some lowering won't harm, will definitely look better:

but the handling won't be that good on the et35 offset. I had some problems while driving on the et35 and even without lowering on the et42, the handling was way better.

...my experience

i have et38 and 60mm lower springs. The steering and handling is crappy. The steering feels really weird and light, and it moves the wheel in your hand at every little bump. Def would not recommend it et35
