Default 2000 GSR Rims .. what is the best tire for my rex with these rims ?

cant wait to put these rims on mm .. love them ... (powdercoated white) .. besides the point ... i was wondering, what tires would be best for these rims and putting them on a lowered rex ... would stock be ok ? or do i need to go for a smaller size ... stock is 195/55/15 ... iv heard 185/50/15 would be ok .. but i dont know what would work the best ...

thanx !!

Agreed, 205/50/15 or 195/50/15 if you need to save some $$$.

kinda takes away from the "sharpness" of the rim but should look good

well ... my intent was the keep them stock .. but iv been looking for awhile and finaly found some .. but they were scratched up.. all 4 .. some of the scratches were pretty deep .around the rim and on the blades.. so .. went to my second plan .. going for a blue rex .. white wheels ... ... and with all those scratches .. i think the powdercoater did an excellent job taking them out ...
the powdercoat was $135 ... normaly $120 .. but added some extra since those scratches were deep

cool but even with free shipping or not .. it looks like for a set of 4 its going to be about 300 bucks anyway i look at it .. or hell a lil over ..which isnt too bad .. iwanted it like at 280 .. but if these tires are good stuff .. i ll probably just spend the extra cash

thanx !!

205/50/15 is taller than the oem tire on the car.

195/50/15 will keep your speedo accurate and help your acceleration compared to the taller 205.
