Hi guys dont mean to sound dumb or anything lol but was considering buying some 17" alloys for my corsa with tyres 205/40/17 i think. But would it scrape on the arches and cause me any troubles?

It is possible to do, all depends how low you want to go. These were 17's on my corsa when i first had it.





Rear arches had to be trimmed/rolled/flared. Front had the bolts removed. Would only scrub on big pot holes. Was down around 60mm i think.

Depends how low u want to go and what offset the wheels are. My bro once had 17's and was down 60mm with no trouble.

Is it a Corsa B or C? (or maybe even D).

17's dont really work on B's but look ok on a C IMO

Didn't scrub on standard suspension because 17's would have turned it into a 4x4.
