I was going to buy a set of Toora T940 for my 1999 corsa but they are a ET 40 offset. I have seen corsas with these wheels on and they look fine but would you advise it and how much arch work would I need after lowering my car 30mm?

Any help much appreciated!!!!!!!!!

you will probably have to cut the metal on the rear arch and stick them on by a thread at the top.

just a saying, i meen you will have to remove the plastic arch, cut away about an inch of metal, the stick the plastic arch on, but as half the metal is gone it will only be stuck on by a little bit at the top.

so do you think that ET 40 will be ok on my car. I don't want to get them if I have to do too much work.

put it this way, i had et42 15's lowered 35mm and they rubbed a fair bit, until i removed the arch bolts, then they only rubbed on big bumps.
