If they are the 5 spoke fan type then they are ET40 so you might have a problem lowering 60mm

The picture above is a shop, but its lowered 60mm all round. The best thing to do is search the board for lowering advice as its been covered a few times before

Was considering those wheels a while back

I think you will be safe to go lower than 40mm if you wanted too, mine is down 60mm on "non-vauxhall friendly wheels" and obliviously the C SRi wheels will be a good offset!!

I'm sure the SRI wheels are ET 40 so maybe it would be safer to go 40mm

off of a corsa c SRI mate, hard to get hold of. but they might have them on ebay or something, or you can buy them brand new. expensive.
