if i was to put 17's om my corsa, would the stering become heavier or lighter.
would it be impossable to park in a small gap.

I DO NOT HAVE POWER STERING

Definately lighter, beleive it or not. Make sure the tyre pressures are all correct.

Important message turning the wheel on the spot runnings the steering wheel and damages it and does some serious stuff to the tyres if u do it a lot
