As Frank Lee has touched upon,without a wind tunnel study of your particular Corolla,we're grasping for any public domain data specific to wheel wells.
I've no such documentation.
If you have no plans for skirts,looking at today's hybrids of any make or manufacturer will give some ideas as what you see will have been tuned in the tunnel.
If your wheels are even with the sides of the car it will preclude the future addition of skirts which do not add frontal area.So you'd be limiting future streamlining.
You could work your front wheels through their full range of motion and see if the wheel arches could be choked down or radiussed,which would minimize the crosswind hit.
