    Fitting 18's on a corsa?? They are et42. Will i get them on?

    I have got them on my cavalier now but they might be going on a corsa. They fit fine on my cavalier but i'm not sure about the corsa. The corsa allready has 18's on with no problems, So do you think these 18's will go on?

    Could i just use a spacer to make the et a bit closer to 49 would that help?

    What do u think?

    A spacer will make the off set lower not higher.

    They wont fit without arch mods for sure

    I doubt very much that they will fit tbh, as corsas have a metal arch behind the plastic one iirc, and with them being ET42 just makes it worse. Give it a try though, it'll take a few minutes

    are you sure? I thught fitting a spacer is what u wud need to bring them out a bit? Coz on my cav now they are like right in the wheel arch at the back, u can easily get 2 hands in the gap between the wheel and arch.

    thats cause its a cav, corsas have silly narrow arches :/


    i am of the opinion that 18's are FAR too big for a corsa, lowered as much as you can, and most of them still look like 4x4's specially those with the combat wide arch kit :S

    Well just forget how stupid it might look, i'll make that decision

    So Will they be closer to the inside of the wheel arch or the outside?

    They will be closer to the outside

    ET45 is 10mm further in than ET35 (So closer to the outside arch)
