Front ones - you can just about get a 6.5" (17cm) driver in but you need a door adaptor from a Corsa and you need to aditionally space the speaker away from the adaptor by about 6mm. I cut a ring of MDF to fit between the speaker and adaptor.

It's very tight for space between the rear of the speaker and the window when the window is down so you need to be careful in your choice of speaker.

I fitted Rainbow 265SLX component speakers and they fitted although I did have to remove the rubber damper from the magnet at the rear of the speaker so it would clear the window when wound down.

Not sure about the rear. Left the factory ones there as I don't have to listen from the back seat. ;)

Wouldn`t Astra/Vectra rings have been a better bet? They are not angled like the Corsa ones, so give a fair bit more room at the back

I tried them but found they needed to be angled to fit behind the door cards.

Rear door ones are 5,25.
Corsa adapters acording to manufacturers of adapters are the only ones that fit onto Omega
