Bigger alloys, standard springs

If I fit 17's or 18's onto my cally and keep the standard springs, will I still have to fit camber correction bushes?
Do you only have to use the correction bushes when lowering the car?

When I had my Calibra Turbo, I had a full uprated suspension kit (shocks and springs). Remember if you do fit lowering kit, you MUST get an Anti-Camber Correction Kit other wise you'll see your transfer box fail on you.

it might look a bit like a off road vehicle on standard springs but not sure i think camber would be ok if its standard suspension

A -30mm kit will be ok without a camber kit.
