My recommended tire size:

15 x 6.5 -- 195/50/15
15 x 7 -- 205/50/15

azenis come in 205/50-15, which i think is the most ideal size for our cars. the oem gsr/si size is 195/55-15. many ppl choose to run 195/50-15. if you want the super skinny tire look, you could run 195/45-15, but your speedo would be quite off

Every tire can look different on rims. Personally I like the Falken Ziex ZE512's. Good all around tire

these are great tires if you dont wanna go with the azenis. definatley look into the zeixs or else the ze512s (or as i call em, zesis, cuz they kinda look like em on the sticker of the tire )
