Mates just bought Kei RSS alloys in 17" look really nice 5 spokes with the chrome lip...
They are 7x17" and he was told they will fit the Corsa B even with his 50mm drop... (by skidz) So i'm guessing they will be the right offset not 100% sure..
Now We've hit a huge stumbling block.. the tyres are rubbing right were the arch bend into the quarter (just at the top of where the moulding should sit)
How much room is there to play with between the inner arch and the actual quarter? will wellying it with the hammer cure it ??
By the way wheels are going on a 5 door... Ali_kerr_86's 
Mines never caught on the rear arch when i put ryans 17"s on it just caught the front  and mines was dropped 60mm

Thought urs rubbed all round when u put Ryan's wheels on?!?!?
I've got the 17's on mine now, lowered 60 and it doesn't rub anywhere, no even wi folk in the back!! 
mine hasn't even had the arches touched.

Nah the backs were fine it was the front.. cos i remember it was really really wierd  And the wheels look really nice on yours 
We thought that the Keis would just go straight on with some minor arch work, they are on now but cant take anyone in the back and they still rub slightly without anyone in the back...
Bet it's cos it's a f***ing 5 door!!

Take wheels of at the back, and see if they have rubbed paint of the metal, if not, u prob just have to trim back the lip on the plastic arch trim, shoulg give you about 2mm more clearance on each side
