I have 15" alloys on my 1.6i Corsa Sport. I’m thinking about changing them for a set of 17's but my car is lowered 40mm front and 35mm rear on SPAX springs with standard shocks.
Will they catch on the car? Has anyone else had any problems with them rubbing?
Cheers

Due to the suspension being "bouncy" because you dont have uprated shocks you will probably have to debolt the rear arches and possibly trim the some of the metal arch back. Try and get a wheel that is as close to et 45 as you can.

yes! my old corsa had 17's on on 40mm drop and rubbed like fook!
what wheels are they need a good offset mate
they will rub though unless you get arch work done to it
