i had a set of 17s on my corsa but they were scrubbing like a biatch. i was told that i had to get my arches cut out so i did that nd it helped alot.. how do the ppl who have 18s nd 19s on manage? is there sumthin else that u can do to stop the scrubbing?

cheers

Give it a clean where it says ET, it will have an offset stamp on it somewhere.

Its more likely to be in the middle of the wheel, it'll either be stamped on the back, or under where the hubcap goes (if you have 1)

Even if they were multi-fit wheels they would still have an ET stamp

All wheels have been made to an offset so it will have a stamp on it somewhere.

Matt, here's the offset stamp on a Corsa C Sri wheel:

Sounds like its ET40, which isn't a good offset for a Corsa B, and will rub (like you said) Sell them to someone with a Corsa C as there wont be any fitting trouble on that, and then buy some wheels which are the correct offset
