Hey everyone, im planning on getting some 16" alloys but also want to lower the car a little. I dont want to lower it too much so I found a 30mm lowering kit which includes dampers as well as springs.
My question is would this all go together with no modifications and would it rub at all anywhere?

iirc, even tho i havent done this myself. IF the wheels are the correect offst (ET49) they should not rub if lowered -30.
If they do rub i cant see it been too bad, minor archwork may be needed if any

really depends on the offset as said before, if there et49 then you can go 100mm at the back if you want to,

Ok thanks, im getting my alloys Online so ill have to specify that to make sure they actually do give me the correct ones  . So it may rub on the back... is that any chance of it rubbing on the front?

some manufacturers dont make wheels with offsets for vauxhalls so ask before you buy.
Im down 35mm with 45 offset(16s) with no problems what-so-ever.
you will want 195/45 tyres though, and no it wont rub.
