if you have that kit i suggest 17's because the kit is quite big and 16's may look a bit small on it.

Yeah 17's will fit providing you get the right offset

You got the Combat 2 arches? If you do get some ET 38's. If you don't get as close to ET45 as possible. Corsa's are ET49, but with big wheels you might get inner arch and suspension scrubbage.

depends on the offset, and how much they are lowered basically.
You can fit 15 on no problems, and most people manage to lower 40 or 60mm on 16's without rubbing. Some have even managed to lower 40mm on 17s and be fine, its just getting the right setup.

yeah, i suppose the corsa have wider arches, the rear arches on a standard saxo are pretty small. Well i want to buy a corsa with the prowler wide arch kit anyway so would be able to fit hge wheels under them lol
