jus put on my 17's on a corsa C. its been dropped 40mm on apex springs too. but it rubs wit 3 ppl in it. 2 in front one in the back! the person in the back isnt exactly fat either. what can i do thats cheap n easy to prevent this. its only rubbin wen i pull away hard or go over bumps. cheers

On mine when put 17's on - it was the screws that hold the wheel arches on that were rubbing - I took the screws out - and glued the arch thingy back on and prob solved...

I don't even know if Corsa C have these arch things on the outside - if they do - try removing the screws ???

Other than that - I think its arch cutting time !!!

have got arch bolts so will take them out n do what u said, i was a bit suspicious bout the et too, i thought it was a 45 but wolfrace said they have it as 38! but i figured they are the company that make the wheels so should know.

this is a pic of it sittin in the rear arch no one in the car apart from sounds in the boot...

Yeah remove the screws...Thats what prob with mine was...

Took the screws out - and now I can take 3 people in back and quite happily go over bumps...

I always though ET 38 was not Corsa fitment...Thought meant to be between 42-47 ET to fit a corsa (and be safe)...

wolfrace didnt get it 'wrong' they just dont make the wheels in the right fitment for your car but sold them to you anyways.

Thats not a mistake thats being gits...

looking at those i am hopefull for my et37 16x7.5 OZ's, those dont stink out at all, i am chopping away at my arches so i hopefully wont get too much rubbing. but my handling will be a bit wierd.

they are more than likely et38 as i have them wheels and they are et38 should say on inside of the rim, had my b inner arches cut all the way back and they are under psg2 arches so they are fine just they catch on my front bumper on really harsh bumps!!! they do them in et42 as well tho, dont do em in et45 iirc..
