Contemplated 195 and 205 but cost, wear, and warranty are an issue. It is my humble opinion that these wheels look very good on the car - they complement the "roundy" look nicely. Now it needs some "squat".

I run a set of the same
Mini rims as my Winter rims. Their lug bolts are larger diameter than our studs and the hub is 2mm wider. If you aren't running hubcentric rings (I couldn't find ones to fit), you should use lug nuts that make the wheels lugcentric. I am using lugcentric bulge conical lug nuts that I found at Jegs that have the correct taper and have a part below the taper that fills the space between our studs and the wheel:
