As long as you keep your drop within a reasonable amount (up to 1.5"), you shouldn't have any problems with the usual wheel offsets and the normal tire sizes (185/65-14, 195/60-14, 195/55-15, 205/50-15, 205/45-16, 215/45-16).

16x7 +40
15x7 +40
15x6.5 +40

in my experience, anywhere around +40offset you should be fine...

up to +45 or as low as +37.

if you wish to use the 215/45-16 ken just mentioned i would stick w/ a +40 and higher esp if you plan to the lower car significantly.
