Hi there,

Looking to get some Corsa C SXI 15inch alloys. Now there are a few sets advertised on auction. However, some people are stating ET49 and others ET38. I have contacted them and they say that they are the correct stated offsets... So are they a little dumb, or do these wheels indeed have different offsets for different model years? I'm rather hoping they are indeed ET38.

Many thanks.

C wheels onto a B? Will be ok even if slightly different offset.

Ideally you want ET49 wheels for a B, but ET38 should be ok. You might need to take the bolts and studs of the rear plastic arches and bond them on, but that varys from car to car. Either way, 49 or 38, they will fit

I have had Manta ET30 rims under my rally car before and they were just about ok. What I need to know is if these SXI are all ET49, ET38 or a mixture of the two depending on model year

All the SXI wheels are ET 49, with the SRI 5 spoke 16's having an offset of ET 40.
