lower the et number the more the wheels stick out of the arches. they may rub on the rears.

BTW, tell Halfords to fook off. They know shit about anything.

halfords are saying et38 because they are probably the only ones they have on the shelf. go to a proper alloy wheel shop for your wheels and tyres - not chav central halfords.

Id say no to ET38, i had them on my corsa, and i found after a while that the front wheels where rubbing on the track rods when i turned and actually started to wear them down.

mine is lowered 50mm on et45

but i changed from et38 to et42. Same problem I had from Halfords. They advised me on et38 and i made them change the wheels for et42 (thebest they could get)
