Look on wheel and trye calculator sites
I believe some kia/jeep are same stud pdc
Could just be an issue with centre bore
But dependant on off set of wheel a spacer would resolve centre bore issues
205/60/17 = 678 dia
205/65/17 = 699
standard 205/70/15 =668
215/75/15 = 704
so 60/65 profile in 17" will fit fine
a standard jimny will run 215/75/15 with no issues
A while ago I was looking at 18s from a company called extreme offset steel wheels they were on bookface but it was a while ago. They were able to supply any whole inch width and et in any rim upto 20s I think stud pattern and centre weren't a problem either. As said above you just reduce the tyres profile to suit.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

Just try to think about off set on wheel shown by (ET +or-)
You need to be at ET 0 but +5 or -10 will be just fine
So if you where using a kia serento wheel with off sett ET43 then a 50mm wheel spacer will
put you at ET-7 in simple terms now your wheel will stick out to the arch by 7mm
As has already been discussed the rim size cannot be discussed in isolation, the tire size needs to be considered also.
Perhaps more important however is how you plan on using the vehicle, vehicles that are likely to see use on broken or rough surfaces will generally ride better with more rubber between the rim and the road surface, so you would want to consider the smallest rim diameter that will clear the brakes (I think a 15" rim in this case), and the tallest tire you can run after considering the impact on gearing, braking and fouling the bodywork.
You can also go the other way, on a smooth surface, lower profile tires make for better handling, personally a 60 series tires is the lowest profile I'm comfortable with, given the roads in my neck of the woods.
