I have a vauxhall corsa 1.4 16v Sri....its currently lowered on 60mm gMax gas shocks and springs all round and has 15" wheels on. I want the car higher so that i can put a combat kit on. as its too low at the mo.and id like bigger wheels....is there anyway that i could put 17" wheels on this? the 15" rub as it is..but ive seen ppl put 17" and lowered 80mm....So can someone please help

you're wheels the correct offset 
and arch adjustment may be necessary.

You could put 17's on fine, make sure they are the right offset 45-49 will be fine. Any lower and you will have to do more arch adjustments.
