Default 15" rota slipstreams but what width and what color?

ok people rights now, as you can see in the sig, I am runnin 17" Enkei J10s and I am thinking about switching them out for Rota Slipstreams. The predicament I am coming across is what width to get. The only offset they come in is +40mm so i'm not conserned about that but my issue is that I plan on dropping the car more and I don't want to get something too wide and have them rub. My rims right now are 17x7 and they don't look like they could go any lower without rubbing, So I was thinking about going with 15x6.5, but i have also looked at the 15x7, and 16x7

My questions are:
15s or 16s?
What width do you guys have on your 15s? and does it rub?
Do you think I should get them in black or white? (keep in mind i might paint the car championship white in the future)

also I have a 96 CX

oh, and no, none of those size wheels will rub considering you choose the proper tire size.

The wheels have a 42mm offset. depending on how low you go....shouldn' be a problem (the 17x7) the 15x6.5 is 38mm

uhhh if your planning on painting it white go with black rims, imo white on white looks horrible and the black will look good with your red too

either you haven't seen white on white or you just have no taste, lol. trust me, white looks really good on milano red, as does black (hence my car) but white slips will be something different while still looking very clean as well as light.
