Whats the offset or ET off the wheels? It will be stamped on the back of the alloy, corsas are made for et45 alloys and anything further than 5 either way will rub,

I had 205 16 on et40 fox alloys and they rubbed going over bumps or with anyone in the back with a 40 mil drop

And tbh 17s look to big for the corsa makes them look like a toy car imo
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I have read up about 17s on corsa b and you have to cut the arches and plastic trims to make them fit otherwise they will rub constantly as Johnny sez go for 16s they look better on the car :)
If it ain't green and black send it back :D
