im considering buying these alloys- 17" with 205/40/17 tyres
i've been told that the offset of the wheels are et16- as stamped on the inside of the rim. after reading through the '17" wheels' topic in this forum it seems that the best offset is et40 or et49 so i was wondering if anyone had any idea if these will go straight on without rubbing with a 30mm drop?

Most vauxhall 17s are a off set are et45 ive just ordered mine with that offset.

et16! Didn't think wheels came in that low an offset!!! They'd stick out loads if they are truly et16 offset or you sure thats the correct offset?

i'm on et42 with -30mm drop and it's spot on a bit of tramlining but nothing major.if your buying new i would go for et45

i've just mailed the person asking if they positively sure! doubt they would fit then if they are wot you reckon?
they are fox evo3 17"...... if anyone knows someone wiv them on a corsa...?

i think you'll have problems. et16 is the offset for some citroens and 106's.

on 17's you want ET45.

what engine have u got? the SRi 1.8 needs ET38 to clear the rear calipers.

Seems to be a popular question being asked relating to offset for the corsa so I have just put a guide up in the tutorials section about it to help people out:

If you can think of anything to add to it let me know.
