Basically chaps, heres the deal: I want to put my Corsa B (1.2 Swing if you must know ) on 16"s or 17"s, with a 40mm lowering spring drop. I know I need a 4x100 fitment with an offset as close to ET45-49 as possible.

I really need to know what work will be required to get them on without rubbing/sticking out, and if she's gonna handle like a dog afterwards.

Plus, if anyone wants to give me some links to some new wheel sites (i've looked at wheelbasedirect.co.uk and rochfordtyres.co.uk already) then I'd be much obliged, as I'm open to suggestions about which wheels to choose also.

as long as the wheel width is a maximum of 7" then they will fit without any work. To stiop the minore scrubbing u may ned to shave/debolt the outer rear plastic arch, but thats about all at -40mm
