14" or 15" wheels would be stock size. i have 14" mag wheels - most people are "upgrading" to 15" wheels, as 14" tires are becoming less available, unless they're for a honda. yes, bolt pattern is 5 X 4.5. back spacing depends on different factors - mainly imo your side clearance for the tires - too far out and you'll rub the inner fender, too far in and you'll look goofy and maybe even rub on the frame-rails. what is it you're trying to figure out?

rears i don't think you really have to worry about. on the front, i'm sure there is more info somewhere, but i've had 24.5" tall 235/60-14s on the front as well as 26.5" tall 225/70-14s. a 205 may be a little too narrow
