vauxhall's tolerances aernt very tight, iv always had a corsa which one rear wheel scraped and one didnt, but for peace of mind mate i would check the rear beam bushes, i doubt they're worn but it might be, other than that its been like it since made. or your rear beam might be bent maybe..

the bushes and back axles fine :/, so it cant be fixed?

its proberally cause you have lowered it and knocked the camber angles out in doing so, look on ebay etc for a camber angle kit they do them as i found it before, also just to rule out that nothing is bent take it to a tracking place somewhere that does 4 wheel alignment as if they cant get it straight then you know you have got a bend in the car somewhere, hope that helps

it isnt camber dude, as corsa's are a solid rear beam, all you do when lowering the rear of a corsa is lift the rear beam up closer to the car, you can only get camber angles on the front wheels, but having the rear wheels checked for allignment would like you said rule out if something was bent or not.

its not as low as that now just to let you know, but the wheel still goes in, will get it tracked and aligned and let you know

ive had it tracked for a while now and just not thought about it, but its annoying me knowing that my passenger side front wheel is further in than the drivers side front wheels. its the front wheels were on about here. but i cant think of a reason why they dont sit in the same disatnce from the arches. please help guys?!!!!!

You say you have had it tracked but was it a full laser alignment? Tracking is just toe-in/out. It looks like it has more positive camber on side which is closer to the arch, this can happen if the car has clipped a kerb and knocked the bottom of the wheel in. I replaced a few hubs on corsas back when I did insurance work, the are pretty soft as are Vauxhalls in general.

Have you tried swapping wheels side to side ? Its possible one wheel has a slightly different offset than the others ... you never know
