I had 19" on my bora bought off ebay. it came with tyres that just fitted. the flange wall was stretched and any bigger sizes would need spacers to keep it off the wheel arch.

looked great until i took it to get tyres. mate got me a deal but told me the alloys are turbo moulded? chinese imported copys of the original that doesnt quite match the tyres. told me 18" would have been a better choice. And so i learned when i got a buckle out of nothing. when my friend tried to repair it the rim cracked! real rip off.
