You can use big block 5 stud hubs. You just need to give them the same abise you would to fit 4 stuf ones. Or you could do it properly and use Harry Hockley bearing knuckles which save weakening the hubs - they ARE KNOWN to break when machined. (Yes I know a lot of people do use machined hubs and M-Tech ones are pretty much the same so don't blab).
As for the back end, rear disk conversion is the only way to go as I don't think you can get 5 stud drums.

Might be worth looking into. I wouldn't recomend rear disks on a Corsa. They seem to be a bit of a liability from my experience, unless you re-plumb the brakes and run the circuits front to rear with a manual bais valve to prevent rear lockups.
Again this is my opinion so don't flame me.

I couldnt find a 5 stud vauxhall with rear drums so the only way is to convert to rear discs, unless you can get someone to make a pair of one off rear drums from blanks but i cant see the point tbh.
Fronts as you are already big block you just need some cally/cav v6/turbo hubs and either machine the hubs down or machine the knuckles your choice.
