16's will be fine in the correct offset of ET49

Depends what else you consider doing to the car. If you have 15's, they'll look good but the car will look much better lowered.
Also, I think 16's are defo not too big. I think they're just right although I prefer 17's.

does your car have power steering? iv got a 96 corsa b and it doesnt so i have counted 17s out, due to the steering being a lot harder, from what iv been told! i personally think that 16s would look the nuts!

is it true that tyres for 16s are more expensive than 15s and 17s?

I have a set of seventeens on a 99 corsa. They rub sumtimes and if you hit a bad pothole all you hear is a big bang. My car is lowered between 40 and 50 though. With a full car the arches rub slightly driving out backroads etc - your probably best with 16" cos 15" cud look too small depending on wot style your going for

15's for decent handeling

16's for better looks

17's are to big unless your goin down the kitted route

IMO 16's with a -60 drop look perfect on corsa's

as said make sure the wheels are et45-49 and have 4 studs

you will need 195/45 tyres on the 16's max

might need to do some arch work which is quite easy
