Smallest rim on a 5th gen

What's the smallest rim that can fit on a 5th gen? I heard that 16" is the smallest but I just wanted to make sure. Can a 15" 4th gen sawblade fit?

I thought it was 5.5 gens that had trouble w/ 15"s, not 5.0 gens. I could be wrong but Jime fit a 15" Kosei K1 on a 5.5gen IIRC. someone correct me if i'm wrong please

I'm hoping I can fit 15's on without scraping for the track. Apperantly 15" Mazda Millenia wheels weigh 11.8lbs. Thing is I'm on s-techs and got a Stillen lip. Will have to do my research as I know they fit but I don't want to scrape my car at all.
