never heard of 195/40/17. They would look weird anyway, similar to a bicycle wheel. | |

Never heard of them and if they were available they would be bloody expensive! Would save a lot of people a lot of scrubbing though... | |

Ive got 195/40/16's on mine et 45 and 7" wide, you can go 60mm down easily with those tyres and not catch, ive debolted the tops of the arches though... Yes GSI suspension is 15mm lower than others but if you are changing the suspension then its just as any other corsa if you understand... | |

All corsa chassis are the same, on a GSi the shocks themselves are slightly shorter coupled with a heavier engine. Any 50mm stated shocks should lower any corsa 50mm, only thing is weight can come into play but shouldnt effect lowering that much unless its one massive install in the boot. | |
