You can use 165-45-15, there should be no clearance issues. I have185-55-15;s on my car. Some tire rub,but mines lowered and the FMS springs are not stiff enough.
Some on here run 195-45-15 or 195-50-15. It all depends on the offset of the wheel. It seems that +35 to +38 works best. Some use +42 with good results. Watch your strut clearance in the rear. I had to shave the perch for clearance between the tire and the strut.Jerry

I have 195 55 15. I had planed on stretching the fenders tonight but didn't get to it. I rub on hard bumps. I also had to get adapters to run these rims. So I'm the wheel plus an inch. Well I cut the spacers down .2 so I'm at .8 plus the wheel.
