i just been on the phone to rtec and they say that i need 42 offset and you cant buy 49 any more and that i need 195/45/15 rather than 195/50/15 and all this makes the wheels i need to get £529.99 when the ones i originally wanted were only £299.99 which were TSW et 40's with the tyre size of 195/50/15 but for an extra 30 quid i could get 195/45/15. rtec then said that TSW's dont fit corsa's as they have a big nut in the centre of the wheel that sticks out a lot and there centre caps do not fit over them all the time. someone please tell me what i should do as i want to lower my car as well, not spend it all on wheels!any one had any expeiriance with TSW's on a corsa b4?

ET is the offset...the best fit would be ET49

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel.

the higher the offset (nearing et49) the better and also lesser chance of scrubbage when lowered

anything from et42 would be ok...I did not do any arch work

ideal would be between et45 and et49

i didn't have any problemo at all....none of the above...

just get the correct offset and your done...btw which tsw are looking at?

i've sold mine and is now on et45...even better...so take your time and get the correct wheels so that when coming to lowering, there's no problem at all
