17s are common theres a few 18s it just depends on how much work u want todo to get them to fit, unless u want to start grinding and banging ur arches about i wudnt go any bigger than 16s.

17'' alloys will fit ok without any mods as long as u get an offset as close to et49 i have 17''s on with no rubbing and i aint mooded the arches either? one good tip to is to get a tyre brand that the tyre wall tapers in so u get that bit more clearence but the main thing is to stik to the et49 as possible :)

Screw that, bang some 14" soft stars on it and just go subtle + you loose none of the acceleration (lets face it top speed isnt the corsa's strong point) so why ruin acceleration as well.......... come on use a bit of nouse!

i have 15's on mine and they are chunky momo ones and they look plenty big enough, any bigger just looks silly and you would propably have to modify your arches if you had large ones on not worth the hassle tbh its not a big enough car for huge alloys
