you'll probably need to do something to the rear arches and/or get wider arch kit for 17s

HELP PLEASE
Do they sell those alloys on a 4 stud, because that picture was of a 5 stud alloy.

Your looking for as close to offset ET49 as you can get to save rubbing problems, but with 17" you will have srubbing. Why not go with 15" Vaux wheels, save you alot of time and effort and give a good feel/stance to the car

The ideal Vauxhall offset is ET49, The problem you will get is you buy alloys with a lower offset, they will stick out, meaning they will hit the arches and rub

I suggest getting a set of Vauxhall Alloys, double check that the offset is ET49 but they will fit lush and look quality

They have offset ET35, which means if you lower it you will have serious rubbing issues

Erm i will say yeah, but they will stick out which will affect your ride, think if you have summit heavy in your car, or even serious speed bumps. Just keep that in mind matey

don't get those .. i swear you will regret it .. honestly !!!! get some vauxhall 15" .. some astra or cav jobbies .. cheaper and also GM manufactured for a recomended better fit !!!! saves money mate and if they are in poo condition .. get am re-furbed .. still be cheaper !!!
