Smaller Rims on FD

I know most people want to go bigger with bigger rims all around. I am curious if anything smaller than stock 16x8 can fit up front? What size/offset rim can stock brakes clear? Any 15's or 16x7?

I dont know if a set of 15s would clear the brakes on the car. The caliper is already close with the stock 16s. As for the smaller width, I am sure you could find a set of 16x7's but you are going to run into traction issues on that one.

May I ask why you are looking to do this?
