Default 205/50/15's on GSR rims?????

Does anybody have pix of GSR rims with 205/50/15's? Does it look too wide on GSR's? The reason I'm asking is because someone offered to sell me a set of 95 GSR's with 205/50/15's for $300 but he doesn't have pix. He lives about 1 1/2 hours away and i dont want to make the drive if it looks stupid with 205's. TIA!!

I have 195 55 15 on my 15x6.5 inch rims. You will not be able to tell the difference really.

Anyone have Azenis 205/50/15 on GSRs? I keep reading that they are wider than standard 205 tires. True?

I have 205-50/15 tires on my 2000 GSR blades, and it looks good and drives fine (does not rub, and my DA is dumped - tires slightly tucked). I've seen Azenis 15" tires on the same GSR wheel and for some reason, it looks like it bubbles out more, like a balloon and makes the wheel look smaller than it really is (like a 14" rim). Just my opinion.

the 205's are great, I have 205/50/15 on my gsr blades Kumho 712(daily driving)they bubble out a little bit more, but I think due to the nature of the not so stiff sidewall. Allthough a definite improvment over the Michelins.

Here are my 205/50/15 Bridgestone Potenza on my 15x6.5"

I have 205-50/15 Falken Azenis on my gsr wheel...


No rubbing here. Only when i fully turn the wheel.
For bigger pics add '.orig.jpg' to the end of the image link.

The white GSRs look very nice. Was that powdercoated, spraypainted or airbrushed?
