If ya lower it 60mm on 17's youre very likely to get sum serious scrubbage. Firstly get the right size whees....207/40/17's
Then decide if ya wanna lower it 60...but will have to do quite few arch mods...get them rolled etc.

i have 17's lowered 60mm, no scrubbage and can carry a full car 
all you need to do is glue the rear archs on and fit longer bumpstops in the rear shocks.

For a Corsa B you'll want a close offset to vaux around et45-et49 the tyre size will need to be 195/40/17.
With a 60mm drop you will have alot of scrubbage I would go for -40mm as it's less hassell.
But if your going for 60mm people on here have done and will beable to advise the best way round it

Exactly..... 17's lowered 60mm isnt too hard to get right.
You should only need to debolt the rear arches, and bond them back on. If need be, take a file to the rear arches so to stop any further rubbing! 
Be warned tho, the right offset is vital, et 45-49

yeah i have et45 205/40/17 tyres.
you may need to knock the arch out a couple of mm with a rubber mallet too. other than that, just as above.

You want ET45 wheels with 205/40/R17 tyres, ET49 is perfect for Corsa's yet on bigger wheels ET49 catches the suspension.
