I'm a firm believer in going +1 and no further for a street machine,
or 15" in this case.  I've +1'd all my 'dubs with excellent results
in all cases - very little tradeoff in daily driver comfort, but
better looks and handling.  My 'roc has 15" BBS mesh-style rims off
an early Corrado G60, with 195/50/15 Dunlop SP8000's - this is a 
KILLER combo, both in looks and performance, with no need for a kidney
belt!
