As above-

Will 17"s fit on a Corsa C 1.2 SXI 16v lowered 30mm?

I want to get rid of my common standard alloys, but don't see the point in getting new ones if they are gona be the same size....therefore bring on the 17s!

thanks in advance

yes but be careful with the offset

et45- 49 are ok
anything lower than 45 & you may have some scrubbing on the arches

yeah, i have 17's and its lowered 30mm, not recommended if u have a lot of heavy things in the boot or back seats cos my wheels rub on the arches.

17 x 7.0 45 205/45/17 (from halfords at £591)
17 x 7.0 45 195/45/17 (from halfords at £591

that aint low!

if you lower the thing, get some uprated shocks as well, if its gonna rub, it wont rub half as much with some good dampers.

PainZ, have you got any pictures of your car looking stupidly low? I'm looking in your garage and I can't see it, it doesn't look that low. GoldPenguin has et45 on FK coilovers and hes is really low.
