I am looking to buy a set of 15" rims but not too sure if they will be allright. What do you guys thinkg the specs are

205/50/R15 OB 15" RIMS with 61/2 jj width and et 32.

what do you think will the scrub a lot? I rarely do full lock anyway so rubbing on full isn't too much of a bother.

thanks, really need a set of rims so i can get GTIR calipers under there.
 
Standard 14'' steel rim with 165/60 tyres is 21.8 diameter, 68.5 circumference

15'' alloy with 205/50 tyres is 23.1 diameter, 72.5 circumference (5.9% too slow)

Ideal would be a 185/45 tyre on a 15'' to match the origional if you want to keep it nippy. 205 seems very wide
 
you can get gti-r calipers and discs under 14" alloy rims, 185/50x14 are as close to standard diameter as you can get with wider tyres on a 14" rim, although you can get 195/45x14 which will lower the gearing slightly and increase acceleration.
