not very much difference but having 15's might give u better clearance that u need. Go for some 8x15 deep dish rims

14'*8 (front) and 14*9 (rear) looks better
but it will be very low...
if you're a daily driver go for 15*8 like fadscorsa said...
it won't be the same but still nice...

Nah 14's ALL the way!! I looked into doing this a while ago but didnt have the balls! Basically euro wheels come in some horrendous offsets (et35 -25!) and being 8 or 9 inces wide you need arch work! But as they are so small they will just stick out of the arch and so long as the arch doesnt come down onto the tyre you shold be ok. Not very road legal have pokey-outy wheels but thats the whole look of euro. I think you'll need coilovers front AND rear for sure and some differing bumpstops so you can play around. I'd go for 8 x 14's in et 35 if poss, and if you have the balls 9" at the back would be awesome! Heres a pic of a corsa with 8 x 14 et35's. Split rims and you'll be looking at OVER a grand for just the rims alone. Oh and alos you'll want 195/45/14 stretched rubber on them to make them EVEN smaller...

my project for my corsa is to go euro style but I have to wait...
but I should put 8*14 at the front and 9.5*14 at the rear...
already saw a corsa with 10*14 at the rear ;-)

well the thing is, i allready gone down the 18s, wide arch kit route and i want power now, but theres no point spending loads on engine work if u got 18s on a corsa, so euro with engine work is the next steep for me
