What I'm gettin @ is 15's are easier for your motor to rotate.. 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+
very very well put. Even if they are just winter wheels... 15's are better.
another good thing, the tires for 15's are gonna be a lot cheaper.
