im looking at getting a set of these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-BRAND-NEW-4x100-4x108-7J-ET35-/270781795248?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item3f0bda4bb0

but i dont know if they will.... 1- fit my corsa, and 2- look ok

all i really want to know is what offset i need, and what size tyres will i need to wrap them with?

anyone got any pics of there or other corsas on 7j wheels?

Ohh, just saying.. my corsa is F@#KING low? make any difference?

there 7j 15". et38 and my coilovers wound down all the way with no problems. may get a tiny bit of rub if i hit a massive bump. with them wheels you wanna buy being et35 there gonna sit 3mm closer to the arch than my wheels. and ive used 185/45 nankangs to give me the clearance in the rear archs. 195/45 were rubbing like mad.lol

i had et 35 wheels on my corsa but i think they were 6.5j and they rubbed on the arches when i had a full car (was lowered on 40mm springs).

you'd need stretched tyres to fit 7j et 35's on as the tyres will foul the rear arches if your car is low enough.
