Wheel/Tire Question

Hey guys, I had a couple of quick noob questions about my next set of wheels. I would like to get some 15" wheels because I simply don't have the money to spend on new tires so I'd like to use the stock tires. This brings me to my question: If the stock wheels are just 6" wide, will the tires be able to fit on a 15x6.5 wheel such a rota slips? Also the slips have a 40 offset so will I rub when I drop the car on 1.2/1.0 Swift Sport springs?? Thanks for your input.

you can fit them no problem.

you should be fine with +40mm offset on stock tires.

you can stretch stock tires on a 7 inch rim without any issues.

Yeah, thats the reason why I am thinking about white slips lol. I know I'm kinda just copying him but still, I absolutely love the look and don't want to buy the real thing.
