best to try and get an offset mid to high 40's mate (et45-49). Wont go wrong with them. I made the mistake of puttin et38 which ripped off the black outer arch,  Yeah 205 width is spot on .

IMO, don't go for 17's too big, takes off performance and handling.
Stick with 16's.

IMO 17's and 18's look rather shite on corsa look way too big unles su have a very large kit to match. and again IMO most kits look crap as they dnt suit the lines of the corsa at all

make sure you get et 45-49 if you get 17's and yeah stick to 205/40/17 or even better but more expensive 195/40/17. im running 17's on my corsa they are et45, with 205/40/17 tyres. looks really good i rekon, 17's really suit a corsa if its sat the right height, ive lowered mine even more than what u see in the pics now... to be honest its a better ride with the 17's grips like sh*t to a blanket lol, no way can i say that its lost performance going from 15's - 16's not to 17's, but have 140 bhp to spin them...
