Regearing the tranny will alow proper RPM range for any wheel size. If this is not possible ($$$$) then try staying within the factory overall diameter. Or just drive slower to save your motor.

With larger profile tyres you'll have no problem. But it'll be like riding in some us car.. Way too soft..

I was planning on running 15" ATS cups, but the wheels I got came up for a super cheap price and i really dig them and I haven't seen any 15's that look similar, so I will try these. I figure if they dont pan out, I can easily just go to a bigger wheel. Rotors and such are reasonably cheap, so why not try something different? I am planning on running more appropriate gears in my tranny as well as some reasonably tall tires. I'm not really afraid of a soft ride. not that it will be but perhaps softish? Ok, maybe not like a greased brick, I can live with that. it's not a car for the track afterall, it's for rollin' hard down the boulevard. (I think thats what the kids are saying these days!)
