he did it on purpose! he knew they were 4 a corsa! he wouldnt sell me the wheels at first coz the offset was bad, he sed the wheels wouldnt fit on a corsa but i convinced him by takin pics 2 him. he sed "well ill hav 2 put on the invoive non returnable" he sed it was 2 cover there ars but the dick hed has obviously given me bigger tyres 2 try and prove a point!

7.5" may be a lil wide but as for rubber 215's will suit, 205's are better for a 7" rim width. 215 is the width in mm, 40 is the height as a percentage of the width and 17 is the rim size.

they'll scrub like fuk whatever tyre you put on. momo are stupid offsets like et37 which aint corsa friendly
think wheelbase was tellin you correct info when they said they wont fit on a corsa
