De Corsa Wheels

plan on getting 4 rear wheels when spring comes..and cant really afford paying 4 new wheels and tires at the same time.

anyone know if the front OEM conti tire fit the rear corsa?
or will the staggered corsa setup fit 190/50 on all four?

Tire fitment

They will fit but going 195x50-15 is way better ride and handling. You will be surprised at the net cost after sale of OEM wheels. I have the 15x 6 ace deCorsa and General UHT 195/50-15 on all four corners.

I have the staggered set-up. I too didn't want to pay for new tires and new wheels. I put Blizzacks on the OEM wheels

Rim sizes

Ace deCorsa 15x5 15x6 rims.
I chose to use the same wheel on each corner. Just like putting the OEM rear wheels on the front. No stagger for me. A wheel is a tire and the rim.

I went with the Genius 15X6.5 wheels all the way around with 195/50 tires - love it - rides so much better and handles great

Stagger

No problem but the wider tire will fit on the wider rim better. Besides the 15x5 & 15x6 cost the same.
