Should my 16" wheels be rubbing my arches if i've had it lowered 40mm on gmax susp kit?.....wheels are 16X7 with 194/45 tyres......i've looked at other corsa sports on here and they are no where near as low as mine???

Mine did on one side when I had 16's and a 40mm drop... You might need to de-bolt the arches, knock or cut the inner arch so the wheel fits and then bond the plastic arch back to the bodywork. No biggie. Do a search for this because mistdotcom did a whole tutorial on it
