im thinking of getting some done to use on the corsa c

i understand some people have had them on there corsa b, but has anyone had some made up for the corsa c? or will they be very simlar due to them having the same offset.

if so what what the spec of the wheels and what tyres did you use? im a bit of a newbie to this as ive just always had vauxhall wheels et49

any help and pictures would be much appreciated aswell, as i want the car to sit fairly low aswell

cheers

8 and 8.5 seems a nice size, on either 14/15" vauxhall steels..

there exactly the same as you said because there the same offset for corsa bs and cs..

and waj has some on his c, think he went for 9.5j rears in the end (had 8.5j before)

it also looks like the rears have a bit of camber, maybe to tuck them in if there too wide?

i think 16's will look to big. Yea waj has got camber but i'm sure he had vw g60's banded which would give a lower offset? I'm sure he did

best off askin waj, jimmy or luke about it, cos they've all had them. But imo defo 15's on a corsa c, think 14's will look a little lost and 16's will be to big. Summit like 8/8.5 all round if your using vauxhall steelie's or go staggered, 7.5 on the front and 8.5 on the rear.
