Hello mate, and welcome to the forum

With regards to lowering, by sticking with Vauxhall Alloys yoo get the correct/closest offset (ET) that a corsa should have. Meaning the wheels sit under the car perfect, not too far out, not too far in. This means you have lower it alot more than if, say you got some Halfrauds wheels.

You should have no problems lowering it 60mm mate (even lower if you fancy it) but then you will need to look into tyre profile etc etc

My corsa is lowered 55mm on PI shocks and Springs running Vauxhall Alloys, have alot in the projects section if you want to get an idea what it might look like

:)
