I’ve got a 1.6 sx with 15 inch alloys will 17 inch fit ? There’s plenty room would it be better for low profile tyres?

Hi mate, yes 17's will fit. When fitting a bigger wheel, you use a lower profile tyre so that the overall diameter of the wheel and tyre end up being the same as you had with the 15inch.

No worries. There is a handy tire size calculator here for you. https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/ Enter your current size of tyres on your 15 inch rims, then enter 17inch for the new rims, and it will work out the right size tyres for you to keep the diameter as close to the original as possible.
