This is the description of the wheels i want, will they fit my 1998 corsa ?

These Wheels should best fit most 4-stud Japanese type cars: 323, MX3, MX5, LANCER, CARISMA, ROVER 200, 400, WAGON-R, BALENO, COROLLA, PASEO, STARLET, GRAND MOVE, CIVIC, CRX, SEPHIA.

The Wheel Offset is ET35 and will fit many different cars. The Centre bore is ‘56’ which is too small for many European cars (i.e.: Golf’s are ‘57’ )

other spec:

Rim Width: 7J
Rim Diameter: 15 inches
Offset: 35
Number of Studs: 4


any help appreciated people!!!

not worth it, wait and get some with the right offset, ET35 will make it stick out. Meaning catching with people in tha back or lowered, also MOT fail

a car will fail a MOT if the wheels stick out from the arch.
Vauxhall Lowset offset is ET45 (can go lower seen 17's ET38 with mods and no catching) so meaning ET35 is 10mm wide.
IF a MOT station looks and see's this sticking out to far/any catching etc if will fail.
DO a search on the internet for the MOT laws......

I am not saying you may have NOT failed a MOT BUT you can if they pick up on the fact, its the same with coloured light if theres no E mark on them MOT stations are supose to fail the car, BUT 99% of the time they never check........
