Unless i'm misjudging the size of this car, i dont think you'd have to sneak 17s in. I've got 18s on my Lancer and its smaller than a corolla. Still have wheel gap and it doesnt scrub even on max angle turns.
Depends on what you like i guess... im positive 18s would fit like OEM, 19s would probably scrub on occasion. I personally like to fill the wheel well up as much as possible as long as it doesnt effect driveability or require abnormal camber. I used to be a 15-16 wheel guy.... but with new cars, i feel like 18s are the new 15s.
Here's a corolla on 20s...........
