corsa arches cant b rolled. just cut. i had 17"s on my corsa B Sport. they were'nt 7.5 though as they will stick out past the arches. U can fit 17"s as long as u get the right offset, anything from 45-49. this will stop the tyres catching the arches. I had a 42 offset, which would fit on a corsa c but took them off as they rubbed bad.

mate, i currently have a set of polo 331 chrome alloys on my corsa b, 17 x 7.5 with no arch mods at all. they fit fine, only rub slightly on full lock and when too many in the back. I am having my arches done on saturday and the guy said that he could get it so i could drop it 60mm if I want with no rubbing still. and yes, they are definately 17 x 7.5 with a 40et

shite, so they ET40!
that means they will stick out slightly more then...which is ok if i do good arch work...But i cant lower as much as i want with Et40!
i want the arch to drop over the tyre slightly, so were talking at least a good 70mm drop and i wont be able to do that if the wheel is sticking out more coz of the ET40 or i will get lots of srcrub?

my wheels are et40 mate but i dont know what the offset of the alloys u want are, just trying to make the point that 17 x 7.5 can fit even with it being et40.
