dont really know as you could get a stretched look on those mate as they're quite narrow...

you might find that you have to pay a hell of a lot for some obscure size like 165/50... think some of the german guys run continentals in that profile?

otherwise see if you can get 195/40/15 so they're skinny as poss!

you can only dit it if there 3 piece rims IIRC.

you can change the width of the rim ie: the dish. with a 2 peice wheel. u just buy a wider dish and heypresto u have a wider rim. the point of a 3 peice wheel is it allows u to change the offseft ie: ET if u wish to do so and they are also alot lighter
