Default max wheel width on a 00' Si??

what is the largest tire / wheel combo I can fit on my 00' Si? I have ground controls and agx's so i can adjust my hight and or dampening if i have to in order not to rub. I have seen 7.0" rims and I could probably run a 215 on those right? any wider? what offset? BTW this is for autoX and some HPDE's and some road course track days.

go to a tire shop and ask them what sized are ok and safe for 15/16/17 go from there...i mean go ahead and put a 225/50 on your 15 in wheel.....see what happens....i mean';;....say 15x6 205/50=good....15/7 215/50=ok....damn...use your own head instead of complaining that people are answering your question wrong

you could use 15x6, 15x6.5, 16x7, 17x7, or even 17x7.5

and you could use 205 tires on any of those
