Default 15" or 16" ??

I was thinking about getting some Rota Slips and could not decide whether to go 15 or 16 on them. A lot of people have been telling me to go 16's on them but have been worrying about the tires. If I go 15's I could always go with a bigger size lets say 205-50-15 creating more of a cushion so the ride wont be as bad and wont have to feel every single bump. The most I could go with the 16's would be 205-45-16. Also have to take into consideration how it would look on the car will it sit right.. and so on and so on. Sooo help and input would be greatly appreciated and just for curiosity sake here is a side pick of my car.

If you're planning on keeping the car that low, I'd suggest getting a 15x6.5" wheel with a +40mm offset. Go with 205/50/15 tires to get the most tire to the ground as well as a nice cushion between you and the road.

Go for 16's. I had 15's on my Si and wished I had gotten 16's later on.

You will need an alignment afterward because your car is not designed for that wheel size.

I like my 16's but you may have problems depending on how low you are
