Im sure this has been asked before but I cant find anything when I searched

Iv finally changed my sport with an SXI which im finally gettin tomorrow morning, I want to get wheels on like ASAP and im looking to go with 17's

Can someone post me a pic of a corsa c with 17's without being lowered, just wana see what it looks like lol

If i lower it about 30 - 35mm with a full suspension kit, dampers, springs etc on 17's will the ride be much different than standard, I mean wil it be bumpy cause Im not havin a bumpy ride again, had it on the last one an dont want anything like it this time

they are 17's. not sure what ride height... this is how low it is at the moment.



still a nice comfie ride, but there is a lot of scrubbing if cornering hard.
