New Wheels?

Hi All,
I'd like to switch out of my 225/45/17 tires on my X-Type, and go to a non-low profile tire. Perhaps a 15" or 16"? My question: is there a wheel (rim) size which is compatible with the X-Type where the lug nut holes line up, etc? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I have the standard wheel on my 2007 X Type. They are 205/55 R16. The bolt pattern is 5 by 108.

Roman, the smallest rim you can go with on the X-Type is a 16" rim. Going any smaller is going to result in the rim not fitting on the car due to the caliper getting in the way.
