Hi Guys

mt R5 came with 16s on correct offset and what not but they rub real bad the ride is stupidly rough and the steering is horrible with them on. i have been offered a set of standard 13s. but im wondering will they be too small. and will the car be well to low. do 5s run better with say 15s as an average or 13s whats the opinions on it.

thanks guys pic included below

15's with low profile tyres (can't remember what profile exactly) have near enough the same rolling radius as OE 13's and tyres, but with a better selection of tyres, and less side wall, I've always found my 5's to handle better on 15's.

I think your problem is more to do with how low it is rather than the size of your wheels.
