those just seem like small wheels. i have 18s and the rotors and calipers seem to take up a good bit of space back there.

if you have those plain steel wheels, they are 16" i'll be damned. funny thing is, your spare wheel in your trunk is a 17"

anyhow, i do not know what tires you should use. good luck

Yeah, I've seen these a time or two. Style 134. Not that uncommon outside the US, however. Michelin Pilot A/S are good tires if you don't need to swap winter/summer tires.

No need to change brakes. You'll have more than enough clearance going to a 19" wheel. You will need to change the aspect ratio of the tires, though.
