15s with 195/45-15 tyres are perfect. 195/50-15 tyres normally rub a bit.
16s go on some fiesta's ok, but some rub the spring cups.
17s & you normally need to use spacers & roll or trim the arches.

My XR2i is lowered 35mm with 15" wheels with 195/45 rubber with no rubbing even when loaded up. I didn't need spacers either.
