Hope you don't have those seatbelts mounted anywhere on the floor of the car.

Also, if you've been here before you should have known this isn't a picture thread.

Anyways, welcome.

205/40/15 and 50/45/15 are two very uncommon sizes, I dont know of any tire cimpany off the top of my head that makes tires that size. If you do manage to find some they will be smaller than stock so your speedo and **(edited)odometer** will read high.
If you can switch to a 16" wheel, many more options will be open to you as far as low pro tires. Tirerack has 3 dozen in 40/16 and 45/16.

I run the BFGoodrich Sports. Affordable, looks good, and less noisy than my previous Dunlop FM-901's.

Becuase with tires that size the diameter of the wheel & tire combo is smaller than that of stock.

Umm...that would be the speedo dude, not the tach. The tach is always going to read the RPM's of the engine correctly.

odometer, not tach. my bad. I posted while drunk and tired. I was thinking the miles readout thingy and typed the rpm readout thingy

205/50s are pretty easy to find, but not many companies make a 40 or 45 sidewall for a 15" rim.
