It depends on the offset of the wheels itself. You will have to do a bit more research and read up on other car build threads to get a better idea of what you're looking for.

That last number is the WIDTH of the rim itself. meassured in inches..

Wrong. Last number is offset. Width is second number, sometimes even first depending on who makes the wheels.

Example:

15x8 et+36 OR 8x15 et+36.

reffering to what the OP stated the last number he was looking at was the rim width. most ppl dont know to look at the different offsets.

Id also get 15x8 but personally i like 15x7. 15x7 fits perfectly with no rubbing. dont know bout the fitment for 15x8

Had a site that let you see what wheels would work best for your car but it wont load for me right now. Maybe it will work for you

There are several factors. Like a 16x8 +40 this means its a 16" diameter, 8" wide rim, and the offset is +40 millimeters. The wider the wheel gets, the more the offset has to be so that it doesn't hit the knuckle. And of course too wide could rub the fender if you are lowered enough. So its more of who "knows" this stuff. Also things like having a smaller wheel like a 15" have a tire that bulges out and can rub on hard cornering at full steering, where a 17" with the same width/diameter may not have that problem because the sidewall doesnt bulge so much and the tire flexes less.

Sorry if this is too much info.
