On My Corsa (1.2 16V) ive ran 15's 16's and 17's. 17's really made it struggle at top end, wouldnt rev past 4.3K with them, whereas now with my 16's I can go upto the red in 5th. Its the general pulling off where 17's made it bad, the enersia needed to start the wheels turning is more and as stated going up hills was worse. I think 16's with 40 profile rubber are the best by far for performance, filling the arch and ability to slam it to what you like without big mods
