    first of all, get a dictionary. Then get some 17s with as near to et49 as poss and 7J and you'll be fine

    Re: Iam a rookie lukin 4 sum Help!

    Right, i think i will be backed up with this 1.

    Isnt about time the mods here did something for wheels and tyres etc. For the newbies, like myself

    I.E, have a thread, as a sticky, with the following

    CAR ET MAX SIZE

    eg
    Corsa B 49 17inch

    Just would save alot of questions

    And while were on the topic.

    Astra mk 3, what et? (serious Q)

    ET49 is the furthest in you can get. If you had the right PCD (distance between the wheel bolt holes on the wheel) for a Vaux and an ET of, say, 30, the wheels would stick out 19mm more from the car then the same wheel with an ET49.

    And please type properly. You have a keyboard and not predictive texting on a mobile. You will get less 'CHAV' remarks if you type in english, not txtcode.

    Thanks!!

    But 17's on a standars corsa look outta place. Honestly, 15's are so cheap now and when you can get a bit of body styling done, get the 17's.
