My current corsa c is lowered 15mm on stock SRi suspension at the mo, and I have just got some 40mm Apex springs to go on. However whilst cleaning the car yesterday I noticed that my wheels had 35 stmped on them, which I presume is the offset, would I be ok going down 40mm on this offset? Or will I get scrubbage etc? I wanna slam the car on these stock wheels as I feel they will suit the subtle style I have in mind for the body work-which hopefully will be sorted when my loan money comes through lol. SO ne1 got any experience of lowering on the SRi wheels? Cheers for any help.

Sri wheels are ET40 offset. My 17's are ET40 too and mine is lowered on Apex springs and i don't get any rubbing due to bad offset

MY wheels dont catch the arch anyway, they catch the rear bumper where it goes down from the arch to the bottom
