I've tried reading about on this but im still not convinced.
Will 17" Momo GT racing alloys fit on a corsa B with standard springs?
Buying them off a friend for £50 with part worn tyres and they're in pretty good nick.
Cheers for the help guys

they wnt be a problem aslong as your springs arnt fkkd , i had 17's on mine for 2 years before deciding to lower and get 15's . £50 cheap anyways so you can always sell and get a profit if you dnt like em ,

Not sure if the springs are completely fkd tbh. They are quite soft (You can rock the car quite easly)
And im going to sell them off for more if they dont fit
If they do fit, is there anyway of stiffening to standard springs?
I know they'll have low profile tyres but its still my worry of them scuffing the arches
Guess if they do fit i wont have a full car when i go out

i would just get a new set of standard springs or use the oppotunity to buy upgraded ones and lower it ,
