Why not just get a stickier tire?

Its a 5.5 inch wide rim.

195 is recommended.
205 is possible.
215 is not suggested.
225 I've heard has been done once (will rub trailing arm without a spacer)(DONT DO THIS).

Go with 205. 215 sectional doesnt have too many sidewall and diameter options.

If your using the stock rim, you want 205/50-15 to shorten your gear ratios just a little compared to 205/55.
