if you have a 5 lug conversion on your EK, you NEED to go 16 and pop your collar.

but on the more serious note, a 16 inch wheel allows for more brake setups and there is also 215 and 225 width 16 inch tire fitments.

There are 225 tire fitments available for 15" wheels as well. I am currently running 225/45-15s on the street.

I would go with the 16" RSZ-Rs. It isn't a matter of the 15x6" ITR wheels not being big enough, but a matter of them not being wide enough. 7" is the minimum wheel width I would want to run.

Hankook Ventus RS2-Z212. $84 per tire in 225/45-15 from thetireshoppe.com. Shipping is pricey though.

They are comparable to Azenis RT615 and Ecsta MX, and are a popular choice for national-level SCCA Street Touring class autocrossers.
