    My 15's are 40mm offset 205-50 tire and no problems.
    I checked here before I bought them.

    You'll be fine... in 15" you could run a pretty low offset before you would have any problems, and 16" you could probably run offsets in the 30's, but 40mm would be perfect.

    so those wheels with some 205/50/15 would be good?

    My 17's have a 40mm offset and don't scape on anything. My 15's have a 34mm offset and didn't scrape until i lowered the car. Now they scrape in the back on those rubber gasket things on the quaterpanel. I've never tried taking them off and driving around like that, but I would think that if i took those rubber things off, it wouldn't scrape anymore as it is barely scraping now.

    Those are some of the best looking wheels I seen in a while. Hope you can get them.
    225 may be too much rubber
