15s... and while I do agree with Packy's comment, the wheels were on it when I got it and I oh-so-do like the deeper wheel on a slim-line.
The curve of the top of the tyre works for the wheel arch and I doubt much wider would work. I'll be checking soon as the Michelin Pilot Sport Cups on it are near the end of their life.
As for the rolling, yes... just a matter of pushing the lip inside flat against the arch... again done before I got the car.
PS: Another angle here showing tyre:
