needs to be the 15 sorry mate the one with the 25 will fit but foul something (probably something expensive) also make sure you get the right tyre size if your going up a size or 2 in wheel
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you !!!!!

Theoretically you could get anything with an offset over 15 and then use spacers and longer bolts to reduce the offset. Obviously this isn't ideal, but I'm running Ford fitment rims (ET38ish) with 26mm spacers to clear the Brembo's on the 309. Therefore the wheels are actually running with an offset of about ET12 which is close enough, clears the calipers and doesn't stick out beyond the arches.

So you could fit ET25 wheels and then just use 10mm spacers and longer bolts and jobs a goodun!
