Dont think you can run 15x10 wheels without them sticking out the wheel wells.Only if you go 17 inch with offset trailing arms and 18 inch with stock trailing arms.

I have seen plenty of C3s with 15x10...and not all are sticking out.

So does this reply even if I get offset TAs, and shortened composite spring?

... for those who like the stock look but want a better choice in rubber:
"Rallye wheels that look like the OEM's are available in both 16" and 17" in the factory 8" width. Both are available powder coated silver or chrome plated. These Rallye wheels from Wheel Vintiques, or through their largest distributor, Newstalgia Wheels, can use the original center cap. Stainless steel trim rings are available for the 16" Rallye but not for the 17." The 16" wheel has the same 4" back spacing as the factory wheel. The 17" has a 4.5" back spacing. American Racing offers a 16x8" Rally wheel with 4.5" back spacing. The AR wheel is chrome plated with a lifetime structural warranty and uses a center cap that is mounted differently than the stock." CF 2003

I'll attach pics if there's a way to do it without using urls
