I have a corsa with 17s and just took my car to a garage cos i though suspension was knocking. But apartnley he said its is my rear wheels catching the arches. If i lower it 40mm will i have to do some arch mods on the rear arches to get them to fit

So are you're 17s rubbing on standard suspension ? That shouldn't happen ...

Only on the back wheels it only happens when i go over hard bumps every now and again, but it does it loads when there are people in the back. The guy at the garage i took it to said they are just catching the arch a tiny bit on the back.
