Just got a Corsa B for my Son..
Want to swap alloys - is 16" OK ? Or should I go with 15" ?
With tyres sizes to match obviously...
Cheers

Re: Newbie - Wheel Size
I would try stick to vauxhall alloy wheels or something with an ET of 45-49 or they will rub on the arches... Unless you have stretched tyres to compensate.

Was looking at 195 45 15..
Where is the best place for Vauxhall alloys at a good price ?

Re: Newbie - Wheel Size
195 45 16 would be a better fit i have 205 45 16 on mine and the tyre hits the inner arch
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Newbie - Wheel Size
They will fit but not very well smaller profile and thinner tyre and dependd on th offset of the alloys
