Default help me decide on wheel size

I would like to run a 205-50-15 Azenis. Im planning on buying a 15" Volk Racing TE37, but what size should I buy 6.5" or 7"? Or do you think the 205-50-15 is to big for the "EF" and I should go with something in the 195-50-15 size? Thanks.

if you are lowered then the 6.5" width may be better to ensure that no rubbing occurs.

I think the 205-50-15 will probably be a bit big.
I'd maybe go with a 195-50-15, the 205's may be a bit too wide, but thats just my opinion.
but i'd say the 6.5" over the 7.

I am currently running OZ superleggera's 195x45x16 off-set 37 and bought this weekend replacement wheels... OEM Honda Civic VTi (5th gen) wheels... 15" 6,5j offset 45... This will definatly improve performance and handeling... Think of putting on 195x50x15 Bridgestones RE720 on them... hopefully my brakes won't overheat though...

The Azenis unfortunately only come in 205, but 195 is better for the civic/crx. Ryan

Who makes a good 195-50-15 tire, like the Azenis?
