You need to pay attention to the measurement I marked in red; Distance from mounting surface to strut for WHEEL clearance.....That is if you are running coil-overs. If you aren't then you need to watch the clearance between the spring seat and the tire.
I was running 15 x 7 with 215/60s and 225/60s....the wheels and tires were HEAVY. So then I switched to 16 x 7 Voxx Monza wheels (No long made) which were lighter than those 15 x 7s...and switched to General G-Max tires which were a couple of lbs lighter than the BFGs I was running before. Total weight cut was 3 lbs for each rear and 6 lbs for each front (Went slightly smaller tire up front (205 vs 215 mm).
The car went from being a clumsy riding/handling car to a actual sports car feel......Ford did a similar thing when going from GT350 to GT350R.....Composite wheels cut unsprung/rotational weight and made a huge difference in performance
Recently (2017) I re-tired with BFGs and they weighed 2 lbs + up front and 3 lbs + in back....Although the tires were rated very highly on TireRack, the car felt "Club-footed" and so in 2019 I switched back to General G-maxs...Much better!
Try to stay as light as possible (Newer cars have more advanced suspension-especially Shocks....And aluminum suspension components)
