I am hoping to be able to get a set of 7 x 18" ET45 miglia alloys soon to replace my (NOW) too small looking 16's.
The arches have already been cut back a fair bit and the arches are bonded on at top. Wil these wheels go on ok or will it rub??

Also anyone got any side pics of a corsa b with STANDARD arches running 18's??

Lowered 40mm. Had the rear arches cut and welded together only.

The alloys are et45 7.5x18 compared to your 7x18, so slightly wider, which doesnt help much.

I get rubbing only on big bumps, but i have ICE in the rear.
