It isn't really that complicated
15 would only be used by a very narrow and specialized group of drivers that want to use the Hoosier tires and are willing to put up w/ the compromises associated w/ them. The short gearing can be good or bad, when ever you shorten gearing you narrow the usable rev and speed range of a given gear this is moot for you as you need to maintain a tire height of ~25" stock
16 would be used mostly by those that want to stay w/ Fuchs 8ET23 front and 9 ET15 rear 225/45 & 245/45 tires,
17 or 18 is pretty much a toss up, MPSC isn't available in 17 any more but that is of no concern to you Toyo currently offers good choices in both 17 & 18 for you
pick a set of wheels that are available in the ET and width you want and the rest is going too be easy
