    205 55 is the correct size for 15" wheel. But depending on offset you may be able to run a 215 - 225 tire.

        Check the wheel, should have offset listed.

              when you get them on, post pics. a lot of people (myself included) really want to see what they look like mounted.

                        Why ? I cant afford them both. I might get some springs.. But i only want an inch or so drop. i think that will look good

                            I run 165/50 on 15x8 but I like the stretched look.
