I've got 15's with an et38. However the car is not lowered.I'm sure I read that about 50mm is the maximum you can do with this arrangement to still have no rubbing.
You need to make sure you have 195/45 tyres as well cos im pretty sure any bigger will cause rubbing if its lowered.

I've got et38 15's. Not lowered yet, but PaulW did lower his corsa 60mm on the same alloys and hammered the back arch out a bit and the same with the front i think. I'll try an find the u2u he sent me about it.
Cossie, u got me worried now, i've had my 15's on bout 6 months an had no bearin trouble. Why does it cause trouble, is it the change in stress levels or what ??

i've got et35 or 36 i think.... on 15" 195/45 series tyres....
my car is lowered 40mm on just springs and i've only had rubbing when the car is FULL
i think those alloys would be ok on a 50mm drop as long as u dont taxi loads of ppl in ya car 
pew pew pew pewwwww

yeap et/offset smaller than 42 on a corsa is harmfull for corsa bearings cause there is an amount of stress on one point of the bearings
