I have 16" ones.......with Yokahama Parada tires. I think they are 215 45 or something along those lines.

I love those rims and tires! The tires stick like glue, and the rims are nice and lightweight.
In fact, they are so much lighter than my stock rims that it took me about a week to get used to it. My first lane change with the new rims almost got me into an accident because I turned the steeringwheel too far and swerved into oncoming traffic lane.
I had to get used to the lighter feeling and less steering wheel effort. Now I just make small movements.
I once took an offramp at 80 mph on accident, I wasn't paying attention to my speed because I was talking to my friend and surprisingly my car shot through the turn without even a tire squeal or anything.......gotta love having a slot car!
