195/45/16
or
205/40/17

but i think you might need work on the arches for the 17's
sure someone will correct me on this one, but i think 5 door and saloons have the bigger rounded arches so 16's will fit under

You can get a number of different sized alloys to fit provided they are as close to the Vauxhall offset as possible and you have the inner lip of your arches removed to provide you with that little bit of extra clearance.
