[Jeffro]

Whats the right or general size?I am going to buy some Wolfrace spirit alloys but i can only find them in the size ' 8x17" with 205/40/17 tyre's. Is this the general size or is it a bit small??What does 8x17" mean?

17x7 is normal with 205/40/17

[Jeffro]

So whats the difference between that and 8x17?

the 8 part is how wide they are i have spirit's on mine and there 17 x 7 so 7" wide

[Jeffro]

Yeh, its your car that has inspired me to get them chewy mate!Hope you don't mind!
Do you think that 8 inches will be too wide??

i'm not sure mate to tell the truth i know they did the 17 x 8's for the the like's of astras and stuff but couldn't tell you if they would be ok or not on a corsa.you might have problems with them catching on the suspension but like i said i don't know anyone who has fitted them.do you know what offset they are??

[Jeffro]
