yes they are 4x100 fitment and belive the offset is around 20-30 they come in 7.5 and 9.0 or 7.5 fornt and 9.0 rear what would be my best bet
would the 9.0 fit on the rear? with alot of stretch on the tires?

corsa b's don't handle wide wheels on the rear very well.

i had to hack the metal, make wider arch plastics, run silly camber and stretched tyres to get 15x8j et13 rears on mine

i'm not sure on the exact specs of the borbets but you'll be surprised at the work involved to make low offset, wide wheels fit without rubbing

your best bet is to test fit them on your car beforehand

15 inch, 7j wide (not the widest), down about 100mm, looks perfect imo..
