If your in melbourne, you can drop past our factory some time and test diiferent wheels if you would like. We have 10x5, 10x6, 12x5, 12x6 and lots of different styles to try. It may give you a better idea of what you want.

Just read your last post, we are in mordialloc so only like 10-15 minutes away. Let me know if you want to test any wheels you want. We have got lots of different types of tires on the wheels aswell

5x10s fit nice under your Inno flares. 6x10s (unless they are GBs then maybe not) will stick out, you will need wider flares.

Here's mine with 5x10 Contessas and Innos...

With those flairs I'd stick to 5" wide rims.
This S has 6" mambas with I think 165 tyres.

In the top pic the hydro is blown but the bottom pic gives a good idea of how they fit.

The tread is under the flair but the sidewall and rim are slightly out.
