185/70/14 are too big for a Corsa anyway. They'll throw your speedo out.

185/60/14's came as standard on the Sport rims, but not the SXI's. The wheels are narrower on them.

No Corsa came with 195's from factory. Yes they'll fit, but the speedo will be wrong.

Speedo will under-read from standard but probably still be within tolerance.

Might look a bit daft mind.

Mpg difference will be marginal and pointless to chase.

Yes, good size if you are lowering and have wheels with incorrect offset.
