Which and the best height of the springs, to use wheels 17 in a Corsa? 40mm? or 60mm? Have a game of wheels of the TSW Fly 17x7 ET 40 with tires 205/40ZR17 I I would have problem in catching in the chassis? debtor

U will need to take arch covers off above the wheels..Black bits or gsi etc has body coloured. And metal arches underneath would need to be rolled / cut to accomadate wheels in that offset.
More hassle than it is worth. better to get other wheels.

the arcs of the front mine corsa, already do not possess more screws or either they are glue so that she does not scrape in the front tires, but exactly thus when I to place wheels 17 with offset or either ET 40 she goes to continue catching?

mate, i have et 45 17's and i had to destroy the rear archs too stop them rubbing. and i had to limit the rear suspention travel as they hit the inner arch. only way you would get away with them is if you have a full wide arch kit.
