Default Question about wheel width???

I am planning on getting new wheels. I have decided to go with Rota Circuit 8's or Rota Slipstreams in 15 inch. I am confused on what width to get? I am lowered 2.5 inches.

If I get The circuit 8's in 15's which size should I get?

15 x 6.5 +18 8h x 108

15 x 6.5 +38 8h x 100


If I get slips in 15's what size should I get?

15 x 7.0 +35/+40 4h/5h x 100/114.3

15 x 6.5 +40/+45 4h/5h x 100/114.3

They dont have a 7 inch wheel with a +40 offset for slipstreams.

With the Circuit 8's they only have them in 6.5 inch with a +38 offset? Would I have problems with that offset?

Circuit 10's are 6.5 with a +45 offset.

What do you do with the car? If you don't autocross or drive your car on track, I'd go the safe route of a 195/55/15. 195/50/15 is also an option, but it will lower your car even more. 205/50/15 will probably rub now and then if you don't have some ridiculously stiff springs.

I use it as a daily driver. 195/55/15 is what I have on my Si's so if I get 15's I can just transfer them over. My springs are not really still.
