are you running the stock motor or a swap? B series gets 205/50R15. check the tire rack it will give you some options

I'm sorry, but engine swaps have zilch to do with tire size. You got the size right, but a B/D/K shouldn't really matter. 205/50R15 ftw on those wheels tho.

Hahaha, yes. 205/50's are a really good combo for a 15x7" wheel on a ef. I have ran 195/50's before but only because i got a really good deal on em! If your car is lowered, a205/50 is generally about as wide as you can go before you start rubbing etc etc.

no, the 205/65's will be too tall. IMO, it will make the 15" wheel look too small. Plus once again, if your lowered, you will have issues with the 65 series tire.

Kip, i usually agree with your posts. However, swaps definitely DO make a difference. For example:
Stock D 205/40R16
Stock B 205/45R16
Stock K 205/55R16
I use 16's for reference because of K-swaps. You want to run tires that match the drivetrain, not the car. The K uses a significantly taller tire. I realize these are not huge differences, but it may be a few MPH that determine if you get a ticket

heres mines (track R) and my cousins slips.

i had 205/50/15's. love how they grip.
he had 205/55/15's a lil rub issue on u turns

my new rims im getting tomorrow are 195/50/15s. shop recommended that i run the 195's because i have no camber kits. they said that it will be a less camber issue than the 205's i had.
