Re: Low Profile tires
damn, you must be dumped!
does it rub when you turn?
go over bumps?
or all the time?
try some 195-50's-r15s, they're the same height but not as wide.

Re: Low Profile tires
All tires are going to be different. Even if they are the same size. Some tires will still be taller or shorter.
You might have to go down to Discount Tire, etc and ask them to show you the tires. And you compare. But I would go with 195/50/15. Any lower will just feel crappy and not even worth it IMO.

Re: Low Profile tires
You could get 195/45, those would DEFINITELY be small enough. To give you an idea, your wheel + tire would be smaller than Civic VX wheels, with stock tires! Next size would be 195/50 which would be like Civic DX '92-'00 wheel+stock tire. (13" wheel, 175/70)
