Hey...

Random question here but I'm not sure the answer and could do with help quick.

The standard wheels on a new corsa SXi are 195/55/16, the upgrade alloys are 215/45/17.

Does that mean the diameter including tyres will be the same on both wheels? and also have the same rolling radius?

Thanks
Tim

Basically yes. The difference in the rolling radius is minimal at about half a cm

The main reason I ask is in pics of a corsa D with the VXR styling pack the car has the 17's on, in theory it shouldn't sit any higher/lower with the 16's, it will just have less alloy and more tyre on show?!
