17"s really do look shite on a Corsa b mate. Your choice though but I don't think any 17"s will fit without rubbing slightly on full lock. Could be wrong though...

I had some 17s on my first B. ET45, lowered 40mm. Caught slightly on the rear arches, once id trimmed the rear arch screws a bit was fine.

I miss seeing corsas with 17s on some of them looked great imo.

Aslong as you stick with et45 with the right tyres on they should be ok. Think at the most my old corsa years ago had the rear arch bolts cut off and bonded back on. Get some stiff shocks on the back and you should be able to lower it 60mm.

I anwser to your question matey. They will scrub on the rear (mods are needed to the rear arch) and on full lock on the inner arch at the front.

This is the only Corsa B ever to appeal to me on 17's IMO



Otherwise its got to be 15's or 16's. Again in IMHO.
