I know you plan another colour scheme, but just can't help thinking that a decent brown with those wheels would look awesome!

tbf, a photoshop of a Corsa isn't going to work when trying to figure if it'd work on yours!! Could try and get a pic of yours tomorrow and work from that!

are you thinking about the 15x6j's?
by the time you've got adapters the offset will be fairly low for a corsa. i would guess around ET10 (ish)
they would look good 'tucked' but i reckon you might struggle to get them under the arches.

Seen a couple of bugs with them on but never seen a corsa with them.. Do think a pic of your car is needed to be shopped to get the feel..

that wont be a problem as the arches arent actually corsa ones 
do you mean they will be sticking out too far though.
Thinking more of the 7&9 x 16

ah right, they're not technically fuchs as i understand it, those are later staggered 1980's 911 ones in the same style.
they would definately 'stick out' of the arches loads, since they'd be around ET-5 by the time you've got 25mm 4x100 adapters on them.
your arches would probably have substantially wider to run these without camber tbh, and as you're being secretive it's impossible to tell lol (cosworth arches or something similar might do the trick but you won't know without actually trying to fit them.
you'll need very stiff rear suspention and stretched tyres i would imagine.
sorry for the essay lol

no worries, i could probably estimate a little better if i saw what the arches actually were - they'd need to very wide to house 16x9s in an offset that low.

i can tell you this, its the standard front and rear wings but further out(if that makes sense), giving it a wider track, wont really be noticable will just give the illusion its lower
oh yeah i think im gonna go for some reps, coz they are damn expensive even if i get ones that need a refurb

genuine fuch`s are a fortune, but the replic`s look just as good for a few hundred!
would look cool on a black corsa b i recon, smooth, slammed, euro styled.
