I have just baught an L reg Corsa SRI and intend to lower just with springs it onto 16"s. I would like it to go down 60mm but would this cause problems with scrubing? Would a 40mm drop be a better idea?
Are 16"x6.5" a good size for corsa's.
Any help or comments could be apreciated.

make sure you buy the right wheels, et 45-49.

tam had 195/45 tyres, not worth buying 195/40's cos they are like 90 quid each.
