Your tires are horribly undersized, just as an FYI.

looks good, i love red gt3 with polished lip. i use to have a dc2 teg with them.
people have mixed opinions. the white on red is sick too. my favorite combo
i would say your tires arent an issue, the wheels are a little small. 16" would look
perfect.

Yeah i debated on what size rims i should of got but i like the smaller rims with a more meaty tire. I like my set up and if you dont like it who's driving it me or you lol jk. I dont take comments personal everybody has there own 2 cents on what they think looks good. But i was thinking about going with a 205 55 tire maybe next pair.

Why don't you look at that link I posted and figure out the size yourself? Ideally, you should be trying to stay within 1% of OEM tire diameter for both safety and functionality reasons.
