It's best to keep the tire size within 1% of overall diameter to the original tire size. Use a tire size calculator (see FAQ's) to help figure out what range of tires you can use. Going too wide can also cause problems in the cornering/fitment department.

Yes, both sizes offered for 15" wheels will fit your car. However, you may want to note that the bolts around the lip of the wheel are fake. The wheel is a one-piece cast wheel, and those are simulated bolts.

The fake bolts don't change anything, really. If you like them, then that's all that matters. I'm just giving you fair warning, in case you were expecting a true multi-piece wheel.

The AR Santa Cruz will fir your vehicle in 15", 16" and 17".

Great looking wheel IMHO!

And you're definitely going to see a larger variety of wheels and tires if you go 15" rather than 14".
