Rim Width:
The width between the flanges of the wheel (the part the bead of the tire touches).
Section Width:
The linear distance between the outside of the sidewalls of an inflated tire without any load on it (this does not include any sidewall decorations).
Section Height:
This is also known as the Aspect Ratio. This is figured on a percentage of the section width. A tire size of 205/60R15 would have a section width of 205 millimeters and a section height of 60 percent of 205 millimeters.

205-50-15 is what I would opt to for better performance. Looks better IMO because it decreases side wall size and increases (in most cases) contact patch. Have a good holdiday.

I have 205/50/15 w/ a ~1.3" drop and my car looks fine. You can't really tell a difference between a 205/50 and a 205/55. My speedo is even off the same mph between the 2 tires.

I remember that day. Nothing like scraping ice off the windshield before hitting the track! Danville *sigh* ...
