Default Which 15's fit st170?

Hi,
I'm trying to find out which, if any, alloys will fit over st170 calipers without modification.

The aim is to lower the gearing, save unsprung weight and money on tyres.

Car is used on sprints and hillclimbs, so any knowledge on the lighter race alloys would be welcome - pro race, super leggera and the like as well as any standard ford items.

Spacers can be used - I'll be using yoko ad08's which come in 195/205 50 15.

Cheers

Simon

I'm away from home, so a mate came round to check the fitment. No tyres fitted yet, and I may need a spacer yet, but the main issue was the brakes.
