spacers make the offset lower, they will fit on a corsa c fine.

they will fit straight on being et42 without spacers as these just bring out the offset even more.

send them back, ask for 42 as 35 will cause probs

Yep, the lower the offset the more the wheel sticks out. You'd want ET38 ore higher for a Corsa C. Don't put ET35 on your car

Rochford are well aware of offsets, so speak to them to have the wheels collected.

Whether they 'fit' and whether they are 'correct for the car' are two different things...
