What's the offset on them?
There seems to be a lot of offsets available http://www.globalautoshop.com/wheels/borbet.htm

7.5s arent wide for a corsa, 9s or 10s are wide, if you have an offset close to Et49 and your not lowered too much then you shouldnt have any problems really

Best place wouldnt be edition38 to ask... as 99% of them will know jack all about corsa offsets etc, and most likely will tell you to get a VW. lol.
Anyway.........
et30- et40 would be perfect offset for them.
closer to et30, you will need more extenisve arch mods
More than et40... and because there 7.5j: you will have problems with them fouling on brake lines. Not big worry tho.. as spacers would sort this, if only a minor foulage.
As for tyre size, because your running on narrow corsa arches, you will need a good sized, narrow tyre to get it under the arch. 205/45 would be an awfull choice.
165/50 perfect, or a 175/185 with 45 profile
