this is mine lowere 40mm on 15s (195/55/r15's)

on 40mm with the right offset wheels you wont get anyrubbing.60mm looks better than 40mm in my opinion BUT speedbumps are a no no and other factors are affected with a 60mm drop.

hope this helps

i dropped mine 60mm all round and it didnt rub on front with wrong offset 15s they was fine even on speed bumps but caught on the arches on the rear, but 40 should be fine unless u got fat friends, haha, but u cant roll the arches on the corsa b, iv been told that u have to clip the arches and refit the arch plastics back on afterwards.
