depends on offset and width, but 195 tyres would have been better regardless.

Please accidentally set your car on fire (not while you're in it but any more bonnets like that and bad use of mesh and I'll be requesting this ) and start again.


To answer the original question: no, they would not be okay. 17" wheels aren't okay on a Corsa B no matter if it's on standard suspension.. as they look about as good as a 1940s war camp.

imo i would sell the whole kit, put that money towards a gsi kit (turn it into a gsi rep)

sell the wheels, buy some gsi wheels or something else nice..

got yourself a nice white gsi rep...

I actually apologise for the comment I made.

It sounded a lot less harsh writing it than it does now.
