Wheel sizes are measured in inches 15 in. high x ? how many inches wide are they? 205/50's should fit the wheel check with tire makers or sellers first. But will they fit the car?

205/50's will fit the rim, and will fit your car if its not lowered too much. If its too low and has a camber kit it might rub when u turn. I have a friend with 205/55's on his slammed 95 coupe and since its cambered it fits

cool, i did have 14 in rims, with a tire size of 195/65 r14, no problems. I borrowed some friends 16's and they rubbed in the rear. i believe the rim itself was too wide. So far with the 15" wheels I've had no problems, but i would like a slightly wider tire.
