BBS convertiable style rims are 15"... The look alikes are the S5 TII Rims which are 16" and are i think .5" wider. All offsets of FC rims i believe is 40mm.
Hope this helps.

What size are my wheels?
The stock sizes all have an offset of 40mm or 40 ET and are:
14x6 w/ 114.3x4 bolt pattern (Base, Luxury, 87.5-88 SE)
15x6 w/ 114.3x5 bolt pattern (GXL, Sport, GTU, 91 coupe)
15x6.5 w/ 114.3x5 bolt pattern (convertible)
16x7 w/ 114.3x5 bolt pattern (Turbo, GTUs, Infini IV)

It would probably help to tell us what rims you have now GOTAYC!

15x6.5 can run 225's all around and many AutoX guys do this
16x7 can run 225's up front and 245's out back (very stretched). I did this but looking in hindsight 225/50/16's all around would be a better combo.
