Default What is the widest tire on stock 15 inch alloys?

The plus zero for Integ 15" alloy is 205/50. According to the tire charts it has the same tread width as the stock tire.

If I wanted a wider tire what will be the proper size? I have stock shocks and springs.

TireRack.com has a tire info section for each model of tire, listing what are the min and max rim sizes.

OEM rim is 6" wide.

205/50s would fit.

215/50/15 would fit too but wouldn't be recommended. Tirerack only has like 1 or 2 tires that would even spec to fit on the stock 6" width of the oem rims. Its not a good idea to stretch a tire that fat onto such a skinny rim. Asking for increase chance of blowouts. Stick with 205/50

for what it's worth, some tire brands have some FAT fricken 195s that are just as huge as some other manufacturers 205s... for example, i just got some dunlop SP9000s, and they are really fat for 195s. my friend has some kumho supra extas and those look wider than the stock michellins.

i'd go with 195/50/15s , mostly because the 50 series is cheaper than 55 series

wouldn't switching from 55 series to 50 series throw off your speedometer?

EDIT: BTW, how do you like the Dunlop SP9000s?
