MG Wheels on Corsa b!

Post by daveablett1995 »

I bought a set of MG Hairpin wheels the other day, great condition with good tyres at a bargain price!
Anyway, I bored out the center hole so it fit snug on the vauxhall hub.
The tyres are 205, 50, 16's.

On the rear they fit fine!
On the front however, they seem very very close to the coilover strut -.- I would have taken a picture but i cant get the camera close enough!

Im not too worried about offset as the wheels are et45, and Im probably going to space front wheels 5mm ? to clear the strut a little more?

Just wondered if anyone had conquered this before and had some tips? :)

PS Im new to this :P

Have you had the camber aligned properly?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Yeah, just bought 195 tyres for them, so hopefully that will give me and extra 5mm each side!
