Right, my corsa b is lowered 40mm all round.

Im either getting corsa c sxi alloys (15") or Corsa c SRi alloys (16")

Now id much rather have the sri because i prefer the look of them, however,
because there 16" i dont know if im gona have any problems with fitting/ rubbing etc?
Any advice for what i should go for?

Which alloys or tyre size etc?
Any help would be greatful!

basically the et number is how far into the wheel the hub sits

the higher the number the further in it goes

really on a corsa b it should be 45-49. so sri wheels will stick out slightly more than recomended

not really to bothered about if they stick out or are we talkin failing MOT?
And so with a low profile tyre there should be no rubbing ?

they shouldn't stick out enough to fail an mot, and if you're only lowering by 40mm, 195/40/16 tyres will be fine.

shouldn't do, I'm pretty sure thats the size most people use on 16's. As you're only lowered 40mm and the offset isn't too far wrong it should be fine.
