Hi,

Has anyone used rims with offset ET 39 on Corsa B 1.4 Swing? Friend of mine has 185/65/R14 winter tires, and they would be perfect for the kind of snow we have here in Norway. I’m not sure if the offset ET 39 would create any problems to my suspension, or would rub anywhere?

Any ideas?

If the Corsa has ET49 it's only a centimetre difference so I'm kinda thinking you'd get away with it, but I haven't tried it.

Tired them, and they fit perfectly. Quite comfortable ride. So now we know that, 4*100 old VolksWagen/Audi wheels fit perfectly on Corsa B J.

That is a material change to the car so you should inform your insurance company of this fact. Regards Peter
