I'm looking to buy a set off minilite's.
But wich one will fit the P6B?
They offer a 5,5"version and a 6"version.
And what tire size can i fit to them?
 
You'll almost certainly want at least 6" as that's the standard rim width on the V8. In fact you are probably better off with 6.5" if you can get it as that will work with the standard tyre or wider/lower modern tyres.
 
I spoke to Minilite about Sparky's wheels as he came with a set of Minilites. They recommended (at the time) the 6 x 14, which had an offset of 30.

The P6 offset is 40, so they were a bit out of balance and made the front suspension rattle a bit. He did have the standard tyres fitted, i.e. 185 x 14 so that is an option.

The offset will throw the wheel out 10mm so you may have clearance issues on the rear if you're unlucky, especially if you fit wider tyres.

Will the 15 x 7" fit as wel?
I have read that then its easyer to upgrade the calipers and then we can put a wider tyre on it.

or do we have to flare the wheelarches?
 
I would think 15 x 7 would require panel work.
These are 16 x 8 with a 98mm backspace, they stick out around 90mm further than stock. Slight clearancing required to front footwell and rear arch area's.
 
I've got 15x7's (+4 offset) fitted to mine. With standard suspension you'll have no problems at the front with 195 or 205 section tyres, you may need to bash the D post about a bit to fit them in on the back. Again, with standard suspension, 205 should be possible on the back with mods, 195 may fit without.
