with a 205, i'd say a +40 or higher..

i run a 195 at +35.. but that rubs sometimes

btw, i run around 32 psi front/rear..

holy ****, 155 is like a fricking bike tire! My 13" wheelz/hubcaps had 175-70-13 rubber on them, which I thought sucked *** but 155 is even worse~

Anyway, I'd suggest 195/50-15's because A) That's what I have and they work great and B) that's what I have and they work great. Oh yeah, you're speedometer won't get thrown off too bad with that setup either...

you can run 205-50-15's but you might rub depending on your drop and offset. Go for some 195-50-15's. No rubbing. Tire cost cheaper. Not really any loss in performance.

hmm, so 195 50 15's. that sounds pretty good. Do i need the +40 offset for those?

These bike tires are fun. When im rolling in second gear @ 40 mph, and floor it, boost hits 10 psi and tires become smoke, even from a roll with full traction. I actually took these tires roadracing and spunout at 75 mph. that was fun.

a plus 40 or higher is preferred, but like i said, i am running 195-50/15's bridgestone S-03's on a +35 and it rubs minimal.. in the bumps, that is.. i have a 1 finger gap in the back, and no gap but camber up front.. if i didn't have a gap, i'd be rubbing all the time.
