I have 16" Enkei rims on mine with 205/50R16 Pirelli P700 tires. They look kickass and have even caught the eye of a few breasted teenegers

ive got a few pics on nopistons.net. you can ask phinsup for an alum to upload pics of your car there. I also wish i had bought 16's, but i bought these rims for cheap for my old celica.

I like the 205/50/15 setup on treceb's 15 inch rims.... You could have fooled me if you told me they were 16's... I have pics of a first gen with 17's on it,,, as soon as I find a power supply for my home computer (lightning hit a transformer in front of my house and rendered my computer useless,,, what are the odds??? Turn off your computer during lightning stroms) I'll load a pic of the car....

i just don't understand how anything bigger than these 13's doesn't rub against the front wheel well...there just doesn't look like there is any space!

Plus one, plus two...the diameter of the rim increases, but the sidewall of the actual rubber decreases so that your overall tire height is relatively the same. I'm running Weds Autobahns and up front, they're fitted with 205/50/15 rubber. I had to roll the fenderwell lip on the inside to stop the rubbing, no spacers here, amigo... B)
