it depends on how low your car sits man.

205/50/15's seem like the right size for most EF's though-
Also, I've heard multiple times that 15's will reduce wheel hop in comparison to 16's. Can anyone verify this?

it depends for 205/50/15 because some tire brands rub some dont. I had some goodyear tires and the back ones rubbed bad. And I had some michelins and they didnt rub at all.

So you better off getting 195/50/15

srsly...

no really?

depending what you want and how crazy you are willing to get you can fit a massive wheel.

really depends on offset, what you are doing with the car, if you are willing to mod things and your budget.

You guys are forgetting offset.

38-45mm offset is the best!

Get 15x6 or 15x6.5 wheels with 195/50/15 tires, or 16x7 wheels with 195/45-16 or 205/40-16 tires.
