I have had some 15 inch alloy wheels on my car for a while now and they rub the arches whenever i have more than 2 people in the car, the wheel sizes are 195/45/15. i have came across many other corsas with the same wheel size yet theres do not rub the arches,there arches are not modified in any way either. any ideas on how i can stop this? :]

the main reason will be due to the offset of your wheels thats if they are after market alloys, where as all vauxhall alloys are ET49 so they fit with 195 45 15 tyres on no problem and dont scrub either, what you can do is slightly tap them out slightly where they are rubbing, OR invest in some vauxhall alloys.

your best option is to just search around, have you tried the vauxhall breakers in shifnal i think it is? they should have some of some sort. iv got some standard corsa sport 3 spoke alloys with good tyres on if your intrested? want about £100 because they are very tidy and four good tyres to.
