Right so Dunc has some alloys i want :) but there wrong offset. and will rub on arches. i hav 40mm springs n shocks. The tyres on them are *195/55/r15. Is there ANYTHING i can do to get these to fit without rubbing :) different tyres or wtever?
Cheers

due to the whole external diameter being that the same of 17's due to the tyre size that its running thats restricting how low you can go reeli, but all you have to do its get a hammer and tap the inside of the arches out a little bit, just remove the plastic trim and then bang it out about 1cm, i had to do it to my old red corsa, but what would be best is to run 195/45/R15 tyres, then the whole car would sit lower aswell.

that would most certainly help anyway, but with stiffened rear struts and springs, etc and if you do a bit of arch work you can make anything fit! but because they're not ET49 vauxhall wheels you will always find some trouble with them.
