Width is the biggest issue, especially if the wheels are the right offset, ie. far under the arch.

The problem arises when you lower too far and the coil goes past the back of the tyre. You can resolve some of the problem by removing the helper spring.

i think the adjuster ring does go behind the tyre. i've not got the car back from the bodyshop yet so can't try the alloys on the car.

the tyres are 195/45/16's so hoping they will just about go on. not too sure on offset its got to be summat between et45-49 cause they came off another corsa
