What brand of wheels makes light weight 15 inch wheels that will fit a base 5th gen lude? Would 15 inch kosei k1's fit or would only 16 inch kosei's fit? Do any 15 inch rota wheels fit, subzero, slipstream?

Any 15" wheel with a reasonable offset will fit, as long as you've got stock diameter brakes.

A wider tire gives you a larger contact patch, and theoretically more grip. But if you don't increase your wheel width to match, you can end up "bowing" the tire, and reducing stability and/or contact patch.

Other than the obvious advantage of more grip, the disadvantages are more expensive tires, increased hydroplaning tendency, increased weight, and often the tire will follow imperfections in the road more than they used to.
