my corsa has 195/50/15s on it and stock shocks, the arch clearance is huge so i have been looking and thought the blistein streetline suspension kit would be best, as it drops 40mm and is in my price range.
The only thing id have to look out for is that because the wheels are so wide that they wouldnt rub the wings on droppage, love the wide wheel look though

Is this a good choice?

my mums b/fs cossie is dropped only by about 25 i think, and it scrapes its arse along all the bumps

and thats a good question, how would i find out my offset?

the offset will be printed on the alloy wheel - ideally it needs to be ET45 - ET49

Looks are important, but there's no point spending £££'s on a car if you can't drive the damn thing. You can always go lower in the future mate

Then in that case the only digits on the whole wheel i could find were
KBA 43007

so scraping its arse is a no go for me, i just want it to be lower, 40mm sounds about right for the clearance i have at present
