Max Wheel and Tyre Size's

Post by DND »

What size wheels & tyres are you guys running on your Corsa B and what is the max size you can run without problems.

I'm thinking about getting some 16" mags with 205-45R tyres

tbh i wouldnt go any bigger than 16 but 15 looks best imo. with a set of low profiles like 45/50 they look real nice

after market wheels?
if so i had problems with my 15's , also 205 tyres are to wide, 195 max,

your best set up's are prob

195/45/15
195/50/15
195/45/16

on vauxhall wheels,

on some aftermarkets you are some times ok with ,195/45/15 but only on some,
i wouldnty recommend 16 inch after markets
