Original is 4J with 155x13 tyres, Rostyles are 4.5J with 155x13 or 175/70x13. You can fit 5 1/2 inch alloys with 175/70x13 with very little risk of modifications but you might have to cut the valance or bottom corner of the wing depending on the offset. Anything bigger and you will have to modify the valance and take a hammer to the bulkhead/foot well.
The Snoot Avons are 6" with 185/70 x13 but the Snoot doesn't have a steel front valance to catch on. You might get away with 6" with 185/60x13's
175/70x13's and 185/60x13's will not make any real difference to the gearing so speedo should not be affected.
