hi,
can anyone tell me whether it is possible to lower my corsa sport 1.6 yr2000 60mm and put 16" wheels on it without any arch rubbing.
i have 17" on it at the moment with et35 and it rubs on every corner.
want to get a new set of wheels of weekend just wanna make sure theres no rubbing - has anyone lowered on this size wheel + if so what size measurement are wheels and tyres i.e 195/40/16 - 16 x 6.5 etc.
cheers

Alright mate..... Mines lowered 60mm all round on Koni's with a et 42 off-set 16" wheel. It sits up a little at the back due to it being stripped out, but it does'nt scrub at all no matter how hard its pushed on the front or rear

Alright lads, there 16" Matrix Torque. Got them from WheelBase. I was after Speedline's but the Matrix were one of very few wheels to choose from in 16's that would clear my brakes
