You can run 195/55/15 which is suppose to be stock size. But there are a few other size you can run. Just depends what you want. 205/50/15 .. 195/50/15 .. 215/50/15.. I personally run 205/50/15.

how low are you...205's are great for a clean mellow drop....if your a slammed type of guy and aren't hella crazy about traction then a 195 would be best.

I'm pretty slammed / tire tucking, I run 205/50/15 and it's fine. If you're really crazy slammed 195/50 would probably be your best bet..but I personally like 205/50/15

I just picked up my first set of 205/50s for my Si wheels, i like them. a little grippier than the 195s. but i think theyre really just nice because they are a little wider, looks a little beefier

I tried running a 215 /50/15 on my GSR hammers and I rubbed while turning.. on a 1.8" drop

205 is really the best option

Okay assuming since you have aftermarket 15" wheels, they're probably at least 6.5" or maybe 7" wide. In this case a 205/50-15 tire would be best. Look at the wheels, either around the outer rim on the outside, or on the back side of the spokes or in the center on the back, and the size will be stamped on there somewhere. Check the size and post back.
