195/50-15 is a better size for that car.

Wider tires won't help much, if at all, in terms of traction. Get better tires instead, and the Azenis aren't exactly the cream of the crop for street tires.

If you insist on going wide, the Toyo Proxes R1R (better tire than the Azenis) comes in a 225/45-15, though they are intended for wider wheels then you have.

Not that i really wanna go too too wide. I got some cheap nexens cph64 or something like that, the 65 dollar ones. Those tires are rounded off and have a soft side wall. I dont relly want to get wider wheels or get lips built for my wheels, so i just want a tire that has a stiffer side wall, better stability on turns, more aggressive fit, etc.

im on koni yellows with 1.5inch extended top hats in the front and 3 inch in the back
omni power sleeves with 10k up front 8 in the rear
rear SI sway bar
password 3 point
rear strut bar and c pillar bar

i want aggressive fitted tire with stiff sidewall and good grip. So 205's came to mind

Sometimes all the susp travel i get in the back is the nexens flexing.

Like he said the compound is more important than the width. in 195/50/15 you can get Dunlop Star Spec, Bridgestone RE11. But if you do go 205 there are a few more options. Kumho Ecsta XS, Advan Neova AD08
