Fitment is crucial, gotta be 45-49 mm offset, and no wider than 7" really. Still a good chance they will rub, depending how much work you have already done to the arches. The ride will be terrible as well, I wouldnt go any bigger than 17s if I were you - not if you drive it alot

Well saw a few yesterday & they had 18's on...it just has 2b done cos most ppl seem 2 go out & buy 17's now. Im guna go mad on this car, so may as well fork out 4 18's & nice set of coilovers.

17s dont need any work in the first place
with 18s ull have to cut back the arches, and lower it about 60mm otherwise u will have a contender for the monster truck series
215/35 is the best tyre imo for the corsa with 18s

I got the wide arches neway so sum of the arch may b cut away wen its all guna b fitted. Just not sure wat wheels 2 get cos saw quite a few Mille Miglia T12's fitted yesterday & liked the look of them Ruined already! Bin lookin through WheelBase in Max Power bt just undecided.

Think that id hav 2 invest in sum 3mm spacers on the front as well. Let me kno wen u get the 18's & coilovers fitted. Wud like 2 kno how easy they go on & wat the ride is like.

Ride is terrible have 18's on mine dropped 60mm at the rear and 70mm at the front, Had them on a year now and gone through four drive shaft and had ll wheel bearings changed, not too bad if you aint going to be using the car all the time but for daily use it does your head in,must be slammed to look any good!
