The 6 spoke Mk3 Astra wheels...

These ones... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160413952874&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_577wt_1165

What sort of profile do you want/need on a Corsa?
And how much are these tyres generally? Budget and brand?

Any help is appreciated, ta.

195-45 R15 would be your best bet. Branded, probably about 50quid a corner. Unsure on budget though.

Depends how low your car is tbh.

Edit: Mine is 60mm (I guess?) at the front, and 40 rear (again, a rough guess), with 185 55 15 tyres, no rubbing issues, that i know of.

Thanks guys... appreciate the help.
Hoping to get some Astra wheels Wednesday and some spring (hopefully 80 front, 60 rear). Hopefully 45/50 profile will be ok and look good enough.

Deffo, if your going for looks, 195 45 are best.
Mine are just standard size, New tyres next week.
