Default EP3 Wheel size and offset?

Does anyone know what the wheel size and offset is on an '02 EP3?

I'm looking for some new wheels but I don't know the factory size.

size: 15
lug pattern: 4x100

Not sure about offset.

16"s will fit fine, even with normal tires.

Ive also seen 17"s with no problems... 18"s depend on tire width.

Most tire shops online let you plug in your car make and model, just try that and copy the info it gives you for your own purposes.

Bolt Pattern: 4x100
Offset Range: 35 to 45
Wheel Size Range: 14x5.0 to 19x7.5
OEM Tire Size: 185/65-15 (185x621 mm)

That's factory, but will these fit without rubbing in the wheel well?

Size: 17x7
Offset: 42
PCD: 4x100

With this size tire on them?

Size: 215/45WR17 XL
Size (mm): 215x625

I'm a noob at wheels.

Its cool.

Lets look at the numbers:
Wheel:
17" rim, 7" wide
Tire:
8.4646" Wide (215mm), 3.80907" Height (8.4646width*45%)

Offset is positive, so the tire will set to the left of the wheel center (away from the car)

So the tire is 1.4646" wider than the Wheel, which may cause problems. As a general rule, the tire's width shouldnt exceed the width of the Wheel by more than 1"

The Wheels are fine, they will fit on the car. The Tires may cause some rubbing problems on the inside wheel well though because of their width.
