Just went to Carnoisseur and asked about springs to lower my car, they said can get 35mm or 45mm for my car, ive been told 60mm on my wheels will rub, and 40mm will be ok anyone know if 45mm will be ok on Corsa SRi wheels 16"
Thanks, Sean.

Might scrub a bit with people in the back thought.
You could mod your arches slightly to try and reduce the amount

Sri wheels off a C are ET41/42.
You can go down 60mm easily. The Sri wheels aren't very wide 6/6.5 iirc hence being able to get away with the lower offset

You don't really want to go lower than -45mm on standard springs anyway unless you want a new pelvis & spine.

YOU CAN'T GO 60mm, WITHOUT MOD'S
i've got a set, front rubbed at 40-50mm, and rear scrubbed at 60mm...
90mm on rear, dont even bother

I wouldn't call that a mod as such. When you say you need to mod your arches i associate it with something a bit more drastic than that.
Also depends on the tyres you have for them.

As said they will rub. I have my rear arches boded on and had work done on them so the lip comes down flat. All fine now
