No mate, this one cruise between Setubal and Lisbon.
Anyone has any idea whats the correct offset for the wheels being the most they can inside the arches with this widths?
Other thing...
is it safe to take a bit out of the reyland/apracing calipers for the 15z to fit?
And thanks about the car comments...

ET30 will give them a bit of a good look but ET45-49 is good for wheels if you want them to sit normally on your vaux

Not seen that Corsa in a while! Did you not have a red one too?
Wide steelies are very cool. I didn't think they were legal over here though? Although I'm not sure why I thought that.

No, leave your currents on or change for a lighter set.
Those steelies just look poop.
PS, you ever get those boost issues sorted? MUch happened with it in the last year or two? OR still running just under 300hp?
Not seen any street racing videos in a long time

No they won't. They cut the outer rim and band them from there.

The inside of the wheel will NOT rub on the shock. The offset stays the same as its the outside of the wheels thats widened, not the inside. Thou shalt prove when mine are back

Liked some HTN Rennsport better... 
Dan295
Yup, Portugal is anti.modding!
If you take the 7" width on ET49 like the base example a 8,5" should be ET29 and 9" ET24...
but that is pure mathematics and to maintain the inner space between wheel and dumper tube, dont know how out they can come.
VXR
Dealing with it... guess what!? The garage i used didnt fit the fuel pump i ordered and i was running the stock one... imagine the damage... 044 in now and some CP Pistons too, since after 3 turbos the rings give up. I'm about to get it again...  Still 300ish.
GSi_16v and jimmy 2.1
Yes, offset on the steelies are changed... he changed for is Golf, i will for the corsa if i go ahead with this.

No because the offset is measured from the inside of the wheel iirc? Its like working with a broken arm
