Just got a Corsa B for my Son..

Want to swap alloys - is 16" OK ? Or should I go with 15" ?

With tyres sizes to match obviously...

Cheers

I would try stick to vauxhall alloy wheels or something with an ET of 45-49 or they will rub on the arches... Unless you have stretched tyres to compensate. :)
