What will you be using this car for? Street driving? Racetrack? Dragstrip? Autocross?

What size wheels will these be mounted on?

Well im not even sure what im going to do. I have two options...one, is to buy drag slicks(dragstrip) and mount on some 13 inch rims i would buy. Or two get street slicks for daily driving and mount on the 15 inch rims i currently have.

To answer the original question: for street driving, the best 15-inch size for your car is 195/50-15.

And I wouldn't run drag radials on the street, just because they wear so rapidly.

Street slicks is almost a contradiction in terms as far as I understand it. If you have some very sticky street tires you can look at the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 or the Falken Azensis RT-615 (not available till November) The advantage about those over slicks for the street is you won't end up in a body bag after the first rainy day. I am sure other suggestions will come in.

Cheers.
