45 is your offset, these wheels will fit straight on

OZ Wheels will NOT fit on a Corsa.
They only do offsets in the 30s - not the 40s needed.
The number Grahams referring too is - like he says - the % of the tyre width - ie the side wall profile - nothing to do with offsets whatsoever.

only way you could make them a nice fit would be to machine about 10 mm off the back of the wheel where the bolts come thru

my m8 used to have superturismos on his, but it was a 1.0 with skybus suspension so it didnt matter that they stuck out....
Used to lok plain wrong, and u got no chance lowering it with them on as they ARE ET38 as said...
