depends what offset (ET) the wheels are, standard vauxhall alloys have an offset of ET49. I currently have my corsa lowered 40mm with vauxhall alloys and they dont rub at all.

What alloys do you have, and if your looking to buy some best bet is to get a set as close to ET49 as you can

Hope that helps

Ohright mate, are you still thinking of lowering your car?
