What size 15" tires should I get?
I have bronze Rota Circuit 8's on the way (for $380, shipped, hehe) I dont know if I should get 215/50s 205/50s or what.
Heres a pict of the rims in 205/50, anyone got a pict of 215s?
Thanks

Stock is 195 i believe. your rims are probably wider. but get a 205, 215 is a lil wider, but not a lot. 205 grips better, it does, steering is a lil heavier. 215 steering is even more heavier. just remember, wider the tires, the less grip in rain. this is generally true, but a good tread for rain will compensate for a 205 width. i got toyo proxes 4, for 340 installed and balanced.
P.S. That is a really good looking car, love those fogs, i really do

Looks like the Rotas are 15x6.5
Heres my current ones. 17"s, blah.
The black one above isn't mine, just to be clear.
edit: Course I have $150 in the current 17"s hehe

Stock size is 195/55/15. The next step up from that would be a 205/50/15, then 215/45/15. That is only if your aim is to keep a semi-stock rolling diameter.

The 205/50-15 Azenis (as pictured there) are 219mm wide by my measurement. Going with a wider tire would not be ideal with a 6.5" wide wheel.
BTW, if you want Azenis, you have no choice but to get 205/50-15 - considering that's the only 15" size that Falken makes.

Those are nice, but I'm not stuck on them. Whatever we have at work I can get for the best price I'll pick.

get azenis, personally I think it's a bad *** tire for a street car. Can corner like crazy, and grip is pretty good.

The overall diameter of 195/55/15's is .2-.5" greater than a 205/50/15. This will affect acceleration and cruise rpm to a small degree.
