remove rear arch bolts that scrub onthe tyre
bond arch back on
hammerin it out slightly might help
put piece of wood against the lip and hammer it
bumpstops too wil help it too if all 3 above been done
or jus get the rear arch cut leavin enough metal to hold the arch with the bolts

i got my rear arch bolts removed, arches bonded on, beware of hammering the metal bit if ya get it wrong ya arches wont sit right, dint fold the lip up it will trap muck and water and rust, if ya cut any metal paint it, or underseal it, i had my corsa down about 85mm at the rear (engine in boot) down 60mm already didnt scrub once drove 60 odd miles

Hey buddy. 
Check your other thread that you posted the other day. There was a link in there somewhere, I remember (think it was a link to the PVD website). It said on there that they do come in ET45 for 17's. I think it actually said they even come in ET50!
