Wheel fitment and general wheel question.

I'm in some desperate need for tires, and I don't see the use of buying some more tires for my 13" vx rims, so I'm wanting to upgrade. I found some rims online that someone is selling, and they think the rims are Enkie. They are 6 star 17's. Anyone know where I can find a picture of such, or if Enkie even made such a thing?

Now for the fitment. The tires on the rims are 205/50/17. Is 205 good, or to wide, or not wide enough? Just input in general really. I would rather have some 15's or 16's but seems like no one wants to get rid of theirs when they have them, just 17's, lol.

there's some wheels, maybe it's one of those. You didn't get any pics from the seller?

Those tires are too big for your car. You need a 205/40R17
50 series sidewall is too much and you'll rub and your speedo will be off.

My car is stock ride height at the moment. It wouldn't rub unless it was lowered, would it?

I'm not sure, maybe when turning all the way :?

That would be a pain in the ass anyway. vx's didn't come with p/s, +17in rims, it'll be a challenge.

Oh, and he has pictures of them, but I don't have internet on my phone, so when he sends them to me, I can't see them, and he can't send them to my email. :x
