If you don't have a syncro, go with the 15".
I've run ( y'all know this by now..) 15" Audi 5000 turbo wheels on a Van and
they do fine as far as clearance and handling. I was running 205 60's on
them, but that was only because the tires on the wheels off the Audi were
already good. 215's are a better choice.
