Went to TopGear to order my new wheels and the guy asked me what type, size etc that I wanted, told him and he said what offset, I said nothin below 45 I believe is correct for a corsa c. he said that i was talkin shit and that the correct offset for corsa c's is 35, i argued for about 5 minutes sayin im not drivin about with 35 offset wheels he said every corsa c they have dealt with was ET 35....

... is he talking out of his ass or what??

alot of places i been to seem to think et35 is the offset for corsa's aswell and no matter how much you argue it with them they always think there right!

went to vauxhall in the end & asked them nicely to put on some official paper what the ideal offset for a corsa b was & then took that to where I got my current alloys from & they still didn't be;ieve me until they phoned vauxhall!

idiots they are!

i'm not quite sure what the best offset for 17's would be on a c.the standard 15" sxi rims are et49 the 16"sri rims are et40 so i guess anywhere inbetween the two
