Can anyone tell me what the factory 15" rim size is (including offset), and also what tire size is mated to it?

15" X 5" rim with a 175/55R15 tyre.

wanna sell me your stock 14 inch wheels? Or even just let me try them on for size?
Still working on it. It has been torrential rain here, so I'm loathe to go outside.

More importantly, does anyone have a link where the factory 15s can be ordered?
Also, how is it that they can use either 14 or 15 without messing up the speedometer accuracy?
not sure why they don't make the 15s available here in us, but you could get the i-miev 15x5 rears, though it's probably wouldn't be easy. And I think you'd also have to deal with the 54.1mm centerbore that you'd have to find someone to modify up to the 56.1mm that I believe you'd need for the mirage.
And you can have different size wheels because it's the tires that determine the outer diameter. So with 14s, you'd have thicker tires, and with 15s you'd have thinner, low profile tires.
Anyone willing to find me a source to purchase the factory 15s that will ship them to the US?
Very simple to answer, as long as your wheel diameter stays the same, one full round of a wheel will cover the same distance. THAT is how you use different RIM size without messing the speedo. Which is why you will find yourself using 40 instead of 55 when mounting 16" rims instead of 15".
