Yeah, they will fit. Shouldn't need any modification.

Ive got 17 x 7.5" on my 101 and the offset is 40 and they fit without hitting anything, so if you are going 7" wide you shouldnt need spacers

offset is the distace from the centerline of the wheel to the mounting surface (where the wheel bolts to the hub).

If the corolla's std offset of +38p is true for say a 6" wheel... then when you put a 7" wheel on, if you keep the same offset, it will be 0.5" closer to the strut, and stick out 0.5" more. So, you could go right up to a +50p wheel in 7" wide and it most likely wouldn't look any further under the guard than stock, the only thing you have to think about is clearing the strut :D

Hope that makes sense...
Ben.
