Whatever fits, and doesn't hit...

7.5" to 8" max rim width; 3.75" preferred backspace/offset... 15 or perhaps 16" rims, shoe 'em with 205-225 wide rubber, depending on manufacturer/style.

15" rim with 205/50/15's roughly equates to stock total circumferance --so your speedo reads accurately.

You can get more trick than that, but do you want to stagger, or rotate? ...and do you want to modify (compromise)fenders, etc., to keep 'em from rubbing under extreme cornering?

Whatever best brand/style you can find.

(Mitsubishi steels will work...)
