Inertia=mass x radius (squared)
Inertia is the resistance to an object changing direction (accelerating, angular ie rolling or in translation)
What I'm explaining is 15's are easier for your motor to rotate, due to their smaller radius, the mass is more centrally located.. less work=more horsepower.
I run 15's on my Lude for autox/track events. I run 205/50/15's.. lighter wheels and better acceleration.
205/50's have a shorter overall diameter so it will gear the car shorter..something the 5th gen's need.
As stated earlier 5x114.3 is the correct bolt pattern for '97+
