then you'll be fine, get him to cut the std arches back then spot weld them again, and make sure you plaster the cut & welded area with rust preventer

you will need to butcher the arches, but if your getting a wide arch kit then this should be no probs for the body shop

you should ask the other widebody corsa owners on here what offset wheel they use

ask beardy
