Depends what offset the wheels are - you might be able to get away with 17" vauxhall alloys if you dont lower it but with a 40mm drop they're a no go. 15" is best on a corsa tbh but if you really want to push the boat out then 16" softstars looks gd and can handle a 40mm drop

Wrecking the shocks is the least of your worries. Lowered on standard shocks gives a deadly ride with horrible handling.
