Default getting wheels tomorrow, what size tires?

im finally getting rid of the 13s. a friend of mine has some gsr fat fives hes gonna sell me to put on my 93 hatch. what size tires should i run? im gonna go with kuhmo 711s cause they're cheapest i think. and since the car is stock, i don't need to worry about traction and what not. i want to keep the speedo working properly also.

195/50/15
195/55/15
205/50/15

They all work and they're close enough in size not to screw up the speedometer.

205 = tire width in mm (across the tread from edge to edge). 50 = tire height (aspect ratio) 50% of the tire's width is equal to the height which would be 205 divided by 2 = 102.5 mm (tire bead to top of the tread). 15 = the rim diameter the wheel fits in inches.

Go with 195/50-15, good compromise between comfort and performance.

Last time I checked, stepping up to a 205 width was a significant price increase.
