The area you'd get rubbing on a Corsa C isn't so much the Arch itself anyway, its where the bottom of the bumper is near the wheel, its dangerously close on mine with ppl in the back, offset wont effect that only diameter would

i've just bought some of them 12 spoke ripspeed alloys cos i needed sumthin cheap to start with. They are 15's in ET38 with 195/50's. These only scrub 3 up with 3 beefy mates in the back, although i haven't lowered it yet.

^^^ Yours is a corsa B also, where Offset is more important due to your smaller arches
