I want to fit some BMW Mini alloys on my Corsa B as I have bought them very cheap. They are 5 spoke 16" fitted with 195/55/16 tyres and ET49. I know they will fit but the diameter is 620mm compared to my 14" alloys at 570mm. Will this give me any problems (i.e. bumping over humps, rubbing brake lines etc) and has anyone got pics of this as I don't know how it will look. All input is appreciated. Cheers Mark.
id say them tyres are of a pretty high profile for corsam get some low profs (lol) then it should do. im sure stud fitment is the same, onlky diffrecnce will be or maybe sluggish acceleration due to increase in circumference and higher top speed due to greater circumference however these factors arent that noticeable i suppose, speedo may read innacurate to.
id go for 195 45 16 or 195 50 16 tyres
is the PCD the same, and the center bore?
they might be the right offset, but if the bolt holes dont line up(pcd) or the wheel is too small to fit onto the hub(center bore) then they are useless.

yes, the bolt pattern and PCD is the same as a corsa
bolt pattern and pcd are the same thing, centre bore might be different tho.

so no... they wont fit... unless you fancy a bit of machining on the inside of the wheels...
as the alloys had run flat tyres fitted i have luckily cancelled the ebay transaction. thanks for the info and i think the bore is too small on the alloys so machining would probably be needed. thanks all.
whats wrong with that?
the make the ride too hard (i was told by the seller as he fitted them onto a golf) and i didnt want to machine them to fit.
55 profile run flats arent gonna be any harder than 50 or 45 profile tyres that you should be running on a corsa anyway
