i got a basic corsa B
am unsure on wat size alloys to put on it and how much to lower it.

any advice?

You're safe with 15s or 16s if you're gonna lower it. 17s cause problems when lowering, unless you're not shy to taking the angle grinder to your arches. If you're planning on slamming it you need to make sure the offset is perfect for the rear arches - so the tyres sit just inside them. One of the VXR boys will be able to give you exact figures when they see this.

ok cheers for that mate

right, you need the alloys to be between et45 and et49, et49 being perfect,if the et is between them then you can lower 60mm on 15 and 16s, with 17s you can go 40mm with out any arch work

thanks lawton, just want i needed to no, cheers bud

also, you need to think ahead, 15s are the best for handling, where as 17s are for looks if you have a big bodykit etc, but if you have a 1.2 etc then the 17s will slow you down as they slow the 1.4 and 1.6s down, 16s are a good all rounder, good at handling and look good,

15s go as low as u want

17s 60mm all round if ur wild, 40mm front 60mm mm back if you want a good balance like my old one



im on standard wheels at the moment 70mm front an 60mm bk

mmmm ok, thanks again lawton and john, ill just have to have a good think about it, i prob go for 16"

!!!Be different and get wide wheels with 100mm!!!

why not 9x15 with 195/50

9 inches and 195s??? Proper ssstttrreeeettccchhheedd then???

7x16s would be top

as i say euro style will try an get a pic of a golf with these

hope these pics work

10x15's with 185's on




oh and these are 285 on 13x18 on a 200sx!!!

wheels are allowed to pertrude arches otherwise it is 100% illegal
