i really like the RIAL GS 14" alloys with either goodyear F1 195.60.14
or Hankook K102 195.45.14
which tyre would be the better option i would prefer the hankook coz of the profile, and lower my corsa 40mm or 60mm ?
i would prefer 40mm (not so impractical)
any +ve comments would be great

mattyboy199...is it true that you need spigot rings when using the exiting wheel bolts?

they might not, i had et35 lowered 40mm on my corsa and they didnt rub, plus they where 15's. as long as you keep to a 195/45 r14 tyre u should be fine

well tell nath he is wrong

spacers push the wheel further out so therefore your offset will reduce to et30
