The wheel and tyre combination is correct, but it all comes down to the offset of the wheels and how much you car has been lowered.
i had 17s with an off set of 45 and lowered 60mm. the only mods i did were on the rear arches. take the trim off and cut back the arch to where the screw holes are and bond the trimming back on.
if you are unsure of what i mean, try and find a copy of the max power corsa modifing haynes manual and i gives you a step by step guide of what to do with photos to help.
