So, I am not the brightest crayon in the box when it comes to wheel/tire fitment. I look at the sizes guide and I just get a blank look on my face.

The Wheels: Konig Helium 15x6.5 4x100 40mm offset 73.1mm hub bore
The Tires: 185/60/15
Thank you for your time. :help:

Those specs are all good. Hub bore is larger than our hubs but distributer should take care of that by providing properly sized hub centering rings. The +40 offset might tuck the wheels in a little too much on a 15X6.5, but there are others who are far more knowledgeable than me when it comes to dealing with offset. My feeling would be +35 on this wheel.
Your car, the way it is transforming, would be screaming out for a wheel larger than 15". Bump her up to 16s at least to maintain ride quality and deal safely with crappy roads.

Excellent fitment. Go for it. No worries.

Thank you, i'll probably email the company and see what kind of deal I can get on 16's. The problem I am faced with is I have to take a 12 hour trip from home back to here on January 2nd - and I have 2 bent rims on the car right now. So my options are to either buy a full set of 15's with new rubber, or two new steelies and save up for 16's.
UPDATE
Okay, so, my mom just sent me $300 for a plane ticket home and the ticket ended up being only $150. She told me to keep the change, so I have an extra $150 to throw down on bigger rims. Guess 16's it is. Just gotta look for tires now. I'm going to post up some sizes again in a few and I'd appreciate your responses. Thanks!
Okay so how about this.
WHEELS: 16x7 4x100 40mm offset 73.1 mm hub bore

205/50/16 is preferred for OEM diameter, will give you a bit more rubber too.
is the car lowered?
