Are you intending on lowering it at the same time?

think they are bout ET42 which would be fine with a 35-40mm drop. Most likely to have problems with a 60mm+ drop due to rubbing over bumps etc...

If you are lowering it as well, then 16s aren't a bad choice. Even tho most ppl will say get 17s

all depends on width of wheel, and how low down car is, 17's are typically 7.0-7.5 inches wide which looks pretty wide from the back

Think that's the best choice. If you aint gonna have a bodykit on it for a while, then I wouldn't recommend 17's, might look a bit silly. Try to get as close to ET49 as poss

Scorpion
Magnex
Janspeed
Any of the above would be a worthwhile investment.

Alrite mate where abouts in warrington u from? I've got 16' evo 2's 6.5 wide and they do look beefy from the back, they come in ET42 and i get rubbing going over speed bumps (im down -40mm) scrubbage is pretty bad when i've got people in the car.

alrite, iv got a janspeed & they fit the corsa really well unlike most which bounce off the rear axel & for wheels 16`s look good, best 2 stick 2 the 49 mm offset tho, mine has 16" speedline alesio 2`s & is dropped 60 mm, it doesnt rub even when im 5 up, my wheels r also up 4 sale :-)
