My impression from previous posts: On a 8.5" width, 55 offset (sti oem people are running) fill up the wheel well pretty good but is not "flush" 40 offset is pretty aggressive. Supposedly doesn't rub, but I don't know if people are loading up their cars and going over bumps etc. Anything lower is gonna require fenderwork and/or pretty stiff aftermarket suspension.

I bought my used set complete, so beggars can't be choosers lol. Finding a decent used set, no curb damage, with even + deep remaining tread in a good size is a challenge. Also, while it is my "winter" set, I'm still only going to be on snow <10% of the time. I need the DOT snow rating for "traction tires required" areas. The 225 vs. 215 i wouldn't consider that big of difference anyways but I definitely wouldn't upsize. Back east I'm sure sees a lot more snow than where I'm at When it comes time to replace I'll consider the 215/65 setup

I put used 16" wheel + snow tire set on mine Friday of last week, I'll throw up a pic once I get a chance. I'm fine with the amount of clearance between caliper and wheel weights. Some OE wheels have had similar clearances over the years. The person before me had clearance issues (lexus). On 2 of my wheels they originally had the weights on the inside of the wheel, and then relocated them to the inside edge, in addition to using spacer plates. If you are concerned you could have the wheels re-balanced and the weights relocated.
