I've fitted a combat 2 wide arch kit, so i have removed the inner wheel arch form the front, but i've got the standard 14 sri alloys on it.
Beleive me it's bad, it makes the car look like a roller skate !
So i need some alloys (big time). What size can i go up to without the tyre rubbing the fornt suspension strut.
I've read that 16's are the biggest any thing above that arch need to be doctored but not sure if they mean the wing arch or the inner arch.
Cheers peeps.

Get rid of the stupid kit and get it lowered 40mm on 15's to get best handling.

17's don't rub as long as they are the correct offset of around et45-et49 any decent wheel shop will be able to tell you what offset a wheel has.

ET49 17's generally rub on the suspension. ET45 is best for 17's.

you must be the laughing stock of your area, wide arch corsa on std 14's!!! common sense would have told you to get the wheels before you got the kit
oh & i hope you slapped on rust proector on the exposed inner arches now, otherwise they'll be rusting as we speak!!
