I'm hoping to put 18's on my corsa B but just had to ask a few things:

1. Once fitted if they don't rub will they damage any parts of the car, eg. breaking anything cos it ain't designed for 18's?

2. Can u get the speedo reset so that it will display the correct speed with 18's on?

3. Will it effect the acceleration much on a gsi?

Any responses tyo the above would be great.

Thanks

They will go on with arch work they may rub and yes the accelleration will change slightly and if your wondering it will be slower. Bigger wheels = slower acceleration. Plus the cost of the tyres are alot id stick to 17's

Lots of arch work needed to stop all rubbing, you will lose acceleration, puts more strain on drive shafts, wheel bearings and gear box! I have jsut had to change all of these in the last couple of months !
