Yes Cal both wheels would look fantastic, at et 29 and that width, with the right choice in tyres the fronts would fit no issues. Rear would need arch work. I'd recommend rolling the arch beneath the plastic trim to flare it out rather than cutting and grinding like some people do. You'd have to camber the rear wheels aswell to avoid any scrubbing when lowered and loaded. Need any help buddy give me a shout.

You are a god mate!! Yer i definately want to go with them BBS wheels. What size tyres would you recommend? When you say rolling the arch you basically mean tapping the metal arch outward to give enough clearance? Cheers

Haha, I've tried and tested when trying to get mine to fit at different widths lol BBS's do look great ands makes it easier that they are 4x100 like you say. Fronts would fit fine with a 185/45 profile and wouldn't look stretched on a 6.5 inch wide rim. Rears can be made to work with the same profile or to make it easier go for a slightly skinnier tyre. (im personally running 185/45 both front and rear but my rear wheels are 7.5 inch wide, fronts 7 to give you some idea) Yep just flaring the metal arch out to give extra clearance, can be done by hammer or I have a proper arch rolling tool if needed

Also worth thinking about, you'd be limited to what make of tyres are available in those sizes and wouldn't be as good to tyres your used to if you intend to do more track days.. But could keep softstars for track maybe?

Just to add, you could go even skinnier in tyre widths and fit something like a bridgestone potenza at 165/50/15 this will look stretched on 6.5j rim ( I'll add a quick pic for you in a mo ) totally depends how you'd want it to look and drive

Cheers mate well i think ive gotta get some tyres fitted and try them to see what happens. If yours are 7.5 inch wide i might even get away without arch work? I suppose ive gotta try n see what happens. Thanks for you help mate

Good stuff the top 2 pics are from when i used FK springs 2nd with the adjustable plate removed (fk highsport kit) so that was around -60-70mm ish.

the camber is fixed on the corsa b but you can space the stub axel on the beam to force some camber. Eibach have started selling camber shims for the corsa b http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eibach-Rear-Camber-Shims-Vauxhall-Corsa-B-93-01-/280739798761?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item415d655ee9

which is a similar way to using washers on the bottom 2 stub axel bolts. Failing that its a matter of getting something mocked up to sandwich between the beam and stub axel at a set angle/degree

If your really set on them you could have the mounting face shaved off slightly, increasing the ET but then that depends how thick the mounting face is and how much you want to spend

Looking good Cal you'll be able to get them to fit fine imo, slight roll of the arch etc. poss camber the rear slightly and it'll run without scrubbing, just takes a bit of time to get it right

BBS centre caps do vary slightly, have you got a pic of the 3 you've got?
