yes it'd look far too small - brad finchham / scrivs red wide arched red corsa B on 19's looked nice, 17's look a bit small with the wide arch. 16's will look dwarfed!

17's dont look to small its just ive done the whole 17" alloys n learned from it (shite handling and lose speed)so am sticking with 16's but just seen a car looking mint with this kit cos dont really like it on many corsa's but this one looked mint

17's don't look small on a non wide arched kit. but the wide arch makes the wheels look a little bit small.

Imo I'd go for 17's.

but 16's just won't look right at all!

they look a little bit dwarfed and they're 17's! with a design that goes right to the edge of the rim.

imagine 16's!!!

lol. perhaps a body shop could mount the arches a little lower and possibly reduce the width one side to the other. so basically the whole arch is tighter to the wheel. So that it makes it look like the wheels fill the arches which is the key thing!

u reckon, it would look so stupid on 16s slammed + do u even know how low that front bumper is?

mines on 18s, dropped about 50/55mm and its actualy 1mm lower than a corvets front bumper, have to go well slow over road humps
