we had the unfortunate luck to bend a front wheel on our new Passion with just over 1k on it. Hit some sort of branch in the road on Oregon coast that was obviously bigger than we thought. But for me it was an opportunity, "hey honey, this is unsafe, better look into new tires and wheels all the way around huh!!??"
Long story short, I went with the Genius 15x5.5 front and 15x6.5 for the rear. To save a little dough we moved the original 175/55 from the rear and put them on the new front wheels. Then picked up a pair of 205/50 for the new rears.
No rubbing, handles great, still getting 40+mpg, and looks great in my opinion. Just thought I would pass on the info for those looking for a combo that works.
