What tire sizes will work best?
Ok, I got a del sol s with 175 70 13's and I just picked up some 95' GS-R wheels. I dont want to mess up the speedo to bad so is the stock tire size(195 50 15's)the way to go? What Im trying to say is what can I get away with and still be close to the right speed? I was told that 205 50 15's might be to big, ect...... Ive been told alot of things by alot of people and this board know more than the "alot of people" 
Thanks for you'r help........Phast

i'm using 205-50-15's on my 15 slips. What tires are you planning on using? i'm using ES100's.... great street tire that lasts a lot longer than some others, fair price also. HUGE improvement in handling and response over stock shitty tires!
