just rang demon tweeks for a quote on some wheels and he said the ones i wanted in 17" only came in 7 1/2 (somethin) so it would be too wide for the corsa c

is there a way round this problem?
these were the wheels

somethin else that baffles me is that the tyre measurement is 205/40/17

surely that must fit a corsa c???

if its a 7.5 inch rim, surely it should be a 215/40/17 no?

if you get a 49mm offset, and perhaps de-bolt the rear arches, it would possibly be fine. couldnt tell you for sure because i had 7" wide 17s on mine with 205/40s

you can fit 205 on 7.5 wheels, its just at the very top of the tollerance, not the safest idea tho

well the 205 comes standard on it, not my idea. why cant people just make the same size wheels instead of makin em wider and different offsets. damn italians!!!!!!!!!
