I think 16 would look better then 15 with a fat *** tire. </TD></TR></TABLE>
You don't want too small of tires, and then hit a pot hole and ruin your rims, so i think ill stick with my 50 series on 15's.

They're a good size not too big for the car, my friend has a Teg with 16's dropped on Progress Coilovers the tires rub a little on the front fender though

Hell, I have 17s with a 2 inch drop and with 205/40/17s my tires are exactly the same size as the stock tire/rim combo that came on the car. They don't look huge, but they do make my brakes look small. I was going to buy 15in Konigs, but decided to just get new Nittos and a sway bar instead.
Its dark and my camera sucks, but you kinda get the idea.
The only problem is the massive camber

No lol. That was my old hankook set, that tire rubbed my inner fenderwell somehow and it did that, it was replaced. Now I'm rolling on 4 brand new Nitto NeoGen NRs, 25/40/17s, Temp A, Traction AA, Treadwear 280. They're stickier in the wet than the hankooks were in the dry.
As for the exhaust, when I bought the car it had a big gay body kit that had been painted at maaco, they oversprayed the radiator, AC condensor, my windows, and the exhaust.

the correct tire size is a 205/45/16 so that you wont throw off the speedo
