Try de-bolting the rear arches, then bonding the plastic arch back on, I'm having mine done next week

I've got 17's on mine, lowered 40mm, and I can't carry a full tank of petrol let alone back seat passengers. What wheels and suspension you got Andy, I'm going for Koni adjustables soon, the G-max kit I've got at the minute is sh!te.

My corsa B and my Corsa C had 17's lowered -40mm and never scrubbed if you have a good offset on your wheels you will be OK. If not remove the bolts from the arch's then bond them back on with Tigerseal or Sikaflex
