Hi all

im buying some alloys this week im either getting some 195/45/16 or 205/35/17 but i've red that if i buy these type i may have to do some arch work i have the corsa b 2000. i thought it might of been something to do with the offset?

is this true?

You should be fine for clearance with the 195/45R16 with right offset wheel, the 17's may need mods, car will drive better on the 16's though.
