you want some alloys with as near to the vauxhall et49mm offset my g/f\'s has et45 offset lowered 60mm and it catchs slightly it never used to catch at all when it was lowered 40mm
if you want it lowered 60 then the arch bolts will need removing
so basically go no lower than 40mm and get no less than et45 offset wheels and no arch mods will be needed!

I have fitted coilovers to the corsa and my god it handles amazingly lucky for my g/f i got them for the bargain price of £250 as they are £500 in the shops!
if you lower you car i would recommend that you also uprate the shockers as standard ones cannot cope with the harder ride and u end up bouncy down the road so much people think you are flashing at them in the dark!
