Hi,
I need some help buying alloys, what difference does the offset make?
will it make the alloys stick out more?
Im looking at some 15" katanas with an offset of 40 (as i have found my 17" rims are to big for the arches)
will these fit my corsa?
Can anyone point out some nice cheap alloys other then these?
And will i be able to lower the corsa with these on?
cheers guys and girls sorry im abit of a noob about alloys

Standard Corsa wheels are ET49, a wheel which is ET40 and 6" wide will stick out 9mm more than a 6" ET49 one.
It also knackers the handling if it's miles out.
I'd say the Katanas are 7" wide, so it'll be even more of a problem, ideally, you want ET45 to ET49.
