more space for the tire to make contact with the ground = more grip. but .5" isn't going to make a whole lot of difference.

Ive always thought wider is better (to an extent), so id say 15x7, with 235s on the front, and 225s on the back. But really, for 15" rims, tire prices shouldnt be a problem, lol.

if you can i would get 7 over 6.5, because why not if they make the rims in both.
