Hi,

Just wondering if it is possible to run 15" et30 alloys on a corsa b, that is lowered! The alloys will have stretched tyres on?

Is it possible and also what are the disadvantages if it is possible?

Many Thanks

if the tyres will have stretch tyres on they will fit on perfectly
how much you going low by?
i was down 55mm on et35 with no stretch and when having more then one person in the car it just caught the inside of the arch (could have easily trimmed the arch down and would have been perfect to go lower)

stretched tyres and cutting the excess metal out of the arches should give you minimal scrubbing

the car is fairly low, unsure on how low exactly but at a guess would say 60mm+!

if i was to try and make it work with stretched rubber, wat size tyres would i be looking for?

and also what atre the disaqdvantages of doing this? does it affect handling etc?

thanks
