well 1st of all the size of the tyre depends on the size of the wheel you buy!

if your going for 15's then id say 195/45/15 or 16's either 195/45/16 or 195/40/16. i would reccomend the 40 profiles on 16's! i have fitted them on a 60mm drop with no rubbing by removing the wheel arch liners!

i no that the ET you should be looking for is ET18 but you can vary them with spacers!

im not 100% on the PCD so i'll let someone else explain that!
