225 tires would be fine on 15x6.5 rims. any wider i would up the rims size to 16x7 or 15x7

also,,will a 225 tire ,,fit out back on my 94 SI hatch??

cuz im gonna just keep the drag tires on all the time,,
since i just use it on the weekend,,

i dont really wanna run 225's up front,,and 205 outs back,,think that would look kinda weird,
and i plan to have all matching rims.


i think i will get good wear out of the tires,,with it being just drivin on the weekends

what tires should i get out back??if i have the drags up front

now i have sp 5000's all around,


thanks mike

i just got some falken azenis this month and i love them for wet and dry use. you also cant beat the price. they have great cornering characteristics if your vehicle is a daily get-away-mobile....i mean daily driver.

I like the S03s potenzas! I have 195/50/15 ($7?) on stock rims and if I could afford the extra $50 a tire, I would go with the 205s.

I've had azenis on for about 6 months and they are pretty good for the price. I was doin a buck 20 on the highway while it was pouring rain and I felt like I had total control. I hoosiers are good for track use.
