i had these wheels on my car and im trying to sell them at the moment they are near new about 2 months old with 195/50/15 tyres they dont rub with a 40mm drop unless you have 3 up in the back and you would need to go over some big bumps.

I had Fox evo 2's ET42 with 195/50/15 tyres on. My 5 door was lowered 50mm an hardly rubbed at the back at all (heard nothing but was slight mark on sidewall of tyres). Rubbed like a twat at the front though.
Should b ok though as these wheels are only 6.5" wide.

15's et42 will not rub if you have 195/45 profile tyres
195/50 profile tyres will rub due to the sidewall bulge

This is true, as in my old Corsa I used to have 6.5x15 ET42 alloys which originally came with 195/50 tyres, rubbed to f*ck as it was lowered 35mm, was absolutely fine when I changed over to 195/45 tyres, even with people in the back!

you'll need to do alot of work to get 17" fox wheels on a corsa due to the offset.
