    Assuming that they are a sensible offset and not about 15" wide - No.

    Corsa C20LET/Astra coupe

    Re: 18" alloys too big for an astra coupe?

    I have vxr 19's on mine and they catch at the rears so you have to roll arch and mod rear bumper bracket, not lowered it yet though, but I imagine 18's fit a lot easier

    After I did all the arch mods not in the slightest, the front was pretty easy but the back needed some chopping around where the rear bumper screw is (top of bumper inside the arch)

    Yeah they weren't cheap, I hunted for about 2 weeks until I found a mint set for £450. They came with good tyres but for a vectra so they were too large.
