im lowering my corsa 80mm front and 90mm rear but i dont want it to catch..

i know cesaros have a good offset (et49 isnt it?) but what other alloys have a good offset?

wheels such as

cavalier gsi alloys (slabs)
astra gsi alloys (fan blades)

etc etc

as close as you can to 49 mate, most vaux alloys will be closest to that mate like you have listed.

You'd be lucky to get away with 50 profile tyres, they're pretty fat, especially if you're wanting to go that low.

All Vauxhall 4 stud alloys are ET 49 IIRC, apart from the Corsa C 16" SRI alloys, which are 40.

I have ET49 Cav slabs on mine with 195/45/15 Toyos and a 50mm drop. bags of room

Next up is 90mm on the rear which should be fine (I hope)
