i'm aiming to make the following combo fit on my corsa B...

ET37 7x15
stretched 195/45 tyres
lowered on coilovers (probs spax) about 50-60mm

i know the offset should be closer to ET49, but that would be no fun would it?

i'm wanna run with standard bodywork...

in short, how much arch work will be needed??

will 195's just look 'normal' then??

thing is, i have a set of brand new 195's kicking about, so was going to put them on the 15x7's...

apparently 165's are scared of curbs tho, i still want a daily driver!

put 195 45s on and it should be fine. think mines down about 70 not really sure. just remove the plastic arch trims and cut the metal back to just below the bolt holes then trim a bit off the lip of the plastic bit and remove the screws on the top section of the arch. i gave mine a bit of a beating with a hammer underneath just to make sure. just remember to underseal all the metal that you cut
