[Corsa B 1993-2000] Banded steelies and stretched tyres

[Nasus]

Anyone know anything on this subject for corsa b? ive gone for a quote on some 7" wide 13" fronts and 8" wide 13" rears but have no idea what tyre size id need to stretch on them?

anyone got any insder knowledge, not really alot of corsa on them, so may have to seek help from one of 'those' kind of groups

Make sure they're ET49 for a start. Then go on willtheyfit.com and have a play around to find a tyre size that provides the same overall wheel diameter and a sensible fit. Even with the correct offset and sensible tyres you may need a but of arch work to prevent scrubbing.

i aim on rolling the arches and adding them bolt on look extensions, obv et49 though if im going extended arches might go a bit lower

[IainW]

I don't think you'll be able to keep et49 as when banding steels the extra width also makes the offset lower

[Nasus]

im going down to 25 and rolling the arches most likely wont be banded steels but some 7j rims 8j on the back 15" and stretched 195/45's, touch wood

gone for these from Bulgaria, ET25 no tyres so will be using 195/45/15 conti's after they have been powder coated gloss black, 4x100 etc etc 7jx15 will probably need to roll my arches?

Will rub and IMHO will look stupid with 195

[Nasus]

suppose i could get stretched but rolled arches wont rub plenty of space between coilover and tyre wall as well, been gifted 4 new contis cant really say no to them regardless, was just trying to avoid the speedo being out

[IainW]

165/50/15 or 185/45/15 would be better on them so they wouldn't rub I think

[Nasus]

ive decided against it anyway, the roads in my area and my commute is far too rough for that kind of thing, cant be dealing with less reaction on B roads in the rain, guna get some new Corsa D steelies 14x5.5j and get them hydrodipped, put some new rubber on maybe a little bit of stretch

[nibnob21]

I wonder what you'll want to do tomorrow.

[Nasus]

i am burdened by having too many ideas this is true. hence i have so many interchangable parts ^^

Nothing wrong with ideas, otherwise we'd never think of anything.
