17's usually look pretty gud if its dropped bout 40mm, but 60mm on 17's wud be too far. i'd say 60mm drop on 16's

Even though quite a few Corsa C's come with 17" alloys on them from the factory?

For 18's you can just bolt them on and see where they catch. They probably wont catch too badly if they are the right offset as the outside radius of an 18" wheel and tyre is nearly the same as a 17" wheel and tyre.

The car is going to drive terrible with 18s! The tyres will be practically elastic bands! Hit a pot hole and you're going to feel it!

the car is a 1.2 so im not going for a track car. i do it for looks. ive got an astra coupe on 19's with 215/35's so im not really bothered obout how it feels. as i say its solely for looks.
