go for either 15x6.5 or 16x6.5 or u'll rub the guards
205/45/16 looks nice
but 16 inch tires are expensive...should stay on 15 or go for 17
when i was runnig 16" rims..the cheapest quote i got for G3 potenza tires was 190 each

hahaha.. I would stay with 15" but wider tyres... Therefore, 15x6.5 would be good..
Can you put 205/50 on a 15"?

the offset's important, u have the right one, it wont scrape.
imo,
when choose 15" go 15 x 6.5 wth 195/50
when choose 16" go 16 x 7 wth 205/45

go 16 x 6.5
why 6.5 ( your more likely to be insured with nrma)
for tyres go 205/45/16R because 50 seems abit too big,, and with 40s your more likely to bend ur rims if u go fast over a pot hole..
hope it helps ur decission making

go 16",, whats the point of getting 15's, why dont u just keep your stock rims if u want 15's (my opinion)

15" stock rims is not the same as 15" aftermarket rims
16" tires costs more than 17" tires and not many places have it in stock
if you're going for looks..u mind as well go for 17's

from what I understand.. it can be done.. but you have to be careful with the offset.. What's the original offset for the 14" and 15" that came with the car? I assume the rest of the wheel spec is at 4 x100 Original VTI-S Wheel size 15 x 6.0 JJ Original VTI-S Tyre size 185 / 55 R15 82V |

i put offset +40 rim and it did rub the inner plastic mudguard when loaded. So now i plan to take out the rear mudguard. Can it work?
