Best Tires for 15" Rims...
Im looking at purchasing 4 Rota C8 Rims that are 15" and I don't know what size of tires I should get. Beacuse I want to have some of a sidewall, but not too much or not too little. Just in between. Does anybody have any suggestions for me... Im looking at dropping my car on full suspension, if you have any pics or suggestions please post or IM me. Thank you.

i would say 205/50/15 would be nice for the handling given that your car isn't slammed. but in other cases 195/50/15 would be nice. here's what they looked like on my car

Well I want to lower the car til' the tires come just to the fender well... those look decent size. And it doesnt make the rim look tiny... uhm, also... i like the rims, I miss my old GSR's... :-(

I have used both 205/50's ( azenis)and 195/50's ( es100's) on a 6.5" wide wheel, and i like the 195's much more...way better steering response, feels more stable, just overall makes the car more responsive....but if you get a 7" wide wheel def go 205/50

C8's
I had 16" C8s and sold em for 15" slipstreams, I miss em...
Anyhow, I have 2 205/50's on 2 rims, and 195/50s on the other 2... Id say go with 205s

Stock 13"-14" Wheels
175/70/13: 22.6"
185/60/14: 22.7"
195/50/15: 22.6"
Stock 15" wheels:
195/55/15: 23.4"
205/50/15: 23.0"
Take your stock tire size (mine was 175/70/13) and put it into this calculator: http://www.f-body.org/gears/ Then find the tire size that will have the closest diameter to your stock tire...and thats the one you use (in my case...195/50/15 has the same 22.6" diameter as my stock tires)...this is so that your speedo wont have to be recalibrated and will read the correct speed
