3. Rim widths up to 7" are fine on wheels above..
4. Tire section widths to 205 are successful with wheels above.
5. Wheels up to 17" work well if you hold to the above and below. 17" look really well in my opinion but thats not a guideline.
6. Do have your overall tire diameter hover around 23.5". Tires like 195/45x15 have a diameter of about 21.9", which means there not only is a speedo and odo error of 7.5%, you have reduced your ground clearance by 3/4". If you lowered too hope you like leveling roadbeds and ramps.
Cool ain't always competent.
good luck.
