im lookin for some tires thatll fit a 15x8 rim. preferably a 205/50 or a 215/50. any suggestions on what brand?

Why would you be looking for such a narrow tire? 225/45 would be a better fit.
What kind of racing is this for?

Everyone wants you to lose
Figure out how to get it to fit.
Are you competing in a street tire class? Bridgestone RE-01R is the autocross tire du jour.

Looks a lot like the Kumho SPT. I'm assuming this is stickier?

RE-01R 15" diameter only comes in 195/50/15
the hankook is similar to an azenis. though alot of people say slightly slower. maybe cause of the extra tread void it has.
what are you using them for. autocross? track? any class that you could run that RIM in autocross, would also allow you to run an R comp tire
(STS max rim width is 7.5")
maybe toyo RA-1, kumho victoracers ??
