Spacers - no, with an ET35 offset your wheel is already 14mm further out than the standard vauxhall 49 offset.
Tyres - 205 40 17 would be best.
will it miss springs and that tho i take these wheels are not to great for my car then
n
Aye, I'm sure they will miss springs etc. It's the arches that they will rub.
ET35 is a VW offset.
ah ok oh well will just have to rub its only me thats ever in it anyways and look good when tried them on before i bought them
vw is mostly 32-38 is it not and most vauxhalls r 35-42
The lowest offset wheels I've seen that come on an Astra Mk3 as standard are ET46.
hope centres r ok then will have to unscrew plastic centre to see never even thot of that whoops

So it is only going to kill you when you have a blow out. What a retarded way to look at a dangerous modification.Originally Posted by ian ross
so...
Sounds a death trap.
Not really the kind of project MIG would want any form of association with.
For the love of God, please read the rules
Well my brother had porsche wheels on a polo and was fine and was alot more out than mine if u check astra mk3 is 35 so dunno how its gonna be out
lmao at the over reaction.
Mk3 astras usually take a 40 offset with no rubbing so you might get away with 35 if the rear lit is rolled or cut back. It depends on the car
Go on to Online Wheel & Tyre Fitment calculator. Offset and Tyre Stretch and measure the difference from the ones you have now to the arches
Who do u mean bud was wanting to fit straight on thats how was asking on best size for them hink i might jusy buy 15s
Go onto the site I linked to mate and put the size of your current wheels and tyres in and of the ones you want to fit. It will give you the difference in inset and poke so you can measure from the wheels you have fitted now with a tape measure and figure out if they will rub or not.
Obviously you dont want them rubbing constantly as the tyres wont last it.
Take u were laughing at every1 on here yeah i will on phone just will do it when get home cheers
Laughing at the you shouldn't be on mig for asking a question type comment
Erm, who said that then?
What would you take out of this if you had 150 posts?
He (Ian) isnt being slated for asing a question, He just seems adament on doing several 'stupid' things. If you look at previous posts you will see this.
for ur information most posts i ask about are advice on things for example this post is asking what tyres would suit best.no1 seems to be able to answer it only useful person so far has been frisco and if 17s dont work then ill just sell them not gonna take a few peoples word for it. i never asked will my wheels fit ask what tyres r best
He is in this thread mate and it wasn't a difficult question. Obviously saying they can just rub because they look good is stupid bit its hardly worthy of the responce he got.
Leaving his other posts/threads out of it what way do you think a new member would take it if they were to read this one alone?
did ur link frisco this how it came out

Ian,
what I think people are trying to get at is that GM spent a fortune on getting the suspension angles correct and if you choose to use a totally different ET (offset) than standard, then you are totally screwing up just about every suspension angle the car was designed with. messing with it changes everything and most certainly makes handling worse. 205/40/17s sound fine as long as they miss the spring pan, no spacers required, just some wheels that are ET49. What did the car come with?
My suggestion - sell your wheels, especially as you need tyres, some proper fitting wheels, maybe some with tyres already on, or buy tyres, hoon around with a smug smile, out-handling everybody.
see when i tried wheels on the gap was not so bad ive seen alot lower with less gap to be honest dont get how my wheels a problem as my offset is 35 and mk3 astra is 35-42 so i dont see how they will be a death trap like mentioned lol but if need be ill just sell them and get something else not the end of the world all i wanted was a tyre size instead i get aload of **** from folk my brother said it should be ok he has porchshe on his polo
