Alloy wheel Advice.

Post by Hollings »

I want a new set of alloys for my corsa sxi but i only seem to find the alloys i like with off-sets of around 35.

the ones i want are 16" and offset 35 would this fit without rubbing or would i require spacers.

thanks a lot

If there is enough material between the wheel bolt taper and the mounting face then you could get a machine shop to mill 14mm from the mounting face to bring the offset to the correct et49, if you didn't then the wheels would sit 14mm further out than the corsa equivelent wheel of the same width, and will most likely rub the arches (rolling might help) but you will find your steering will go heavier and the tyres will wear quicker with the wrong offset (not to mention wheel bearing demise)
