      Yes they do, I have 15s on my sedan 07. They came stock with the Aveo. And they look nice.

      This is my 2 cents guys:
      For example a Continental Contisport is 23.5in in diameter in a 205/40-17.
      A tire the same size but diffrent manufacturer like Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 is 23.4 and a Sumitomo HR+ is 23.3in. But most tires will have around the same diameter.

      As far as our vehicles go the stock tire sizes range from approximately 22.8 to 23.1 inches. Not to mention the overall weight, width and size plays a big part in how your vehicle will be affected. In everything from turning, slowing down, accellaration, performance and gas cunsumption just to name a few.

      Also when choosing tires dont forget to look at the UTQG or Unifor Tire Quality Grade of the tire. It will help in determining how long the tire tread will last. The higher the numbe the longer it will last. So take into effect what you will you use the tires for, track or street.

      Just taught I would be noisy and help out on this matter guys. And remember theres alot more to this than what I put. So if anyone else wants to help out please do so and help out our brothers out there so they dont make a mistake or are misinformed and hurt themselves.

      my 2 bits???

      get the h&r's. 1.4 an 1.5" drop...

      for me, perfect progressive rate, about 1-1/2" before it tightens up. Low enough to see that's it's low but, not so low that it looks like a ricer.
      This thing handles incredibly well and corners like a mad dog!!!

      I am on 17 inch for 2 years. With Apex lowering spring.
      No problem with hitting wheel arch or vibration. Handling improved a lot, I can corner with 4th gear instead of 3rd gear arod the corner near my house. Without down gear means faster pick up after the corner.

      Re: 17" wheels which springs ?

      I've been completely happy with my Eibach's. It still rides as smooth as factory, but I guess thats why you pay a little more for them
