6.5 would be safest, but 7 would be ok with 195/40 tyres I'd say.

40's would make the arches look empty I think . Got any pics of 16's with 40% side walls on?

Do the wheels need "tuner" (small) sized wheel bolts or can I use my standard Corsa wheel bolts?

My GSi has 40 profiles.

J is the rim profile to seal with the tyre.

Compomotive use standard wheel bolts. They'll send you 16 shiny new ones with the wheels, but you can use the old Vauxhall ones, they're fine
