im planning on getin some slips
i was wondering what size wheels and tires should i get without a problem...

i was thinkin about getin some 15x6.5 or 15x7 (6.5 is in stock) probably end up getin those

tire size...what size should i go with? i drive a boosted 92 eg daily

 

195/50-15.

In that size, I would recommend the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 for your car. Excellent dry traction, outstanding in rain, and lasts a reasonably long time (25-40K miles). It's a bit more money than some tires, but it's one of the very best tires around. (This is the tire that won the comparison test in Car and Driver.) It's currently $93/tire at the Tire Rack, and there's a $40 rebate on a set of four for most of this month. Since you've taken the time and effort to add power to your car, you ought to spend a little more for the performance of a top tire that can handle all that horsepower, rather than getting a less expensive tire like the Kumho SPT or Yokohama ES100, which offer great "bang for the buck" but whose performance isn't up to the demands of a high-power application.

damn man are you like a tire pro lol

so 195/50
what about the width of the wheels? should i get 6.5 or 7 inches

thanks

 

I would get the 15x6.5.

Like most 195/50-15 tires, the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 is approved for rims 5.5-7.0 inches wide. However, at the top end of that range (15x7), they will look stretched onto the rim. I think they will look better (and may afford better protection against curbing damage) with 15x6.5 or 15x6.
