yep 17s 
the 195/40 tyres help alot again though as they are alot smaller than the 205/45 cant understnad why more people dont use them, yeh they are slightly more expensive but not loads!
the back wil be going that bit lower aswell
Yeh thats one of the main resons for them really, to make the car more drivable really, its just a bonus they look sooooooo good

not keen on the boot, would of liked to see it keep the original shape and just made it smaller
rob c had it done on his astra
5 door blue nova with it done
and timruds_ has it done on his corsa i think
different, but not keen small plate would have looked better too

Wheels look loads better than the T12s, I think it looks better not being as low! Love the numberplate recess too
Got any more details on the tyres you have? If they are 195 does that mean they have to be stretched over the rims at all? I didnt even know you could get 195/40/17s

I had 195's on my Corsa B, they don't need to be streached, they just sit under the arch's a little easier though

Which brands make them? Ive always bought 205s, might be worth getting some 195s next time cos the tyre wall scrubs every now and then on the back wheels

Sam you've done well boyo
Love the recess i was going to do this as well but I dont think it'd go with the rest of my car...and you beat me to it damnit Really does look good on yours though
Wheels are top dollar too your car did look stunning on the 16's but here you got both looks and practicality rolled into one 
Love the attention to detail... Black Devil aproves and is going to do you DRY at trax!!!
