i work for vx and now u gotta be careful bcuz vx are trying to blame big wheels for the faulty racks and hub assys. 17s are ok on their own or lowered, but if go in a dealership, put standards back on. it saves a lot of hassle.

i have 17's et45, lowered -40mm on my corsa c. no rubbing and theres plenty more room in the arches for more loweing if need be. I didnt like the ride on just Apex springs as i found it to be too bouncy so i bought some Koni adjustable shocks which firmed up the ride a bit and now i can fly round corners
