test fit them and see what the situation is...
10s on the rear sounds ambitious, but porsche rims come in high offsets so might be less problematic.
you could have you adapters machined down a tad (or the backs of the wheels machined instead/aswell)
running camber could also help.
without offering them up and seeing how they sit - you won't know what's needed.

I think you'd get some tyre->arch chaffage with that.
Probably need arches rolled & supper stretched tyre to be in with any chance.

I wouldnt say i'm into Euro, I just like to do more than just bolt a set of 18" rep wheels to a car, Its all about how they sit with the car etc, I like the way the back wheels sit from the front view rather than the back anyway,
+ I like to help people out with fitting wheels, I spend all day selling 15" wolfrace wheels to chavs with saxo's and puntos, Its nice to help sum1 fit some Porsche wheels for a change which i also think would be pretty cool when done,

Its all about the offsets, I was thinking 16x9's on the corsa, I have worked out that the edge of the rim will sit exactly 1.5in further out than the edge of the rim on my speedlines, Thats 9x16ET15 compared with a 6.5x16ET49 Arch rolling deffo needed haha.

the adapters should be about 25mm so you'll effectively have ET40 instead.
that doesn't sound too bad to be honest
if anything, they might foul the suspension on the inside of the arch - but fit them and check that 
stretched tyres are a must tbh

stick a tape in the arch and see what gap there is between the strut and the arch, will give you a rough idea of available space and amount of work that may be required

If they are ET65 they should sit like mine do, So with the right tyre you'd get away with it, Souldnt look bad at all,
