195/50 vs 205/50 on a 15x7

[T La]

i have IE3s so i really don't want to increase my fender gap because of undersized tires. would a 195 look silly? or would that still have a large enough wall to look alright?

im running 225/50 on a 15x7. Love the way it looks

[e30_325es]

Ja seriously run a real tire. 225/50 or nothing.

[T La]

i'm not sure how it'll fit because i need 20mm spacers to clear brakes...

[T La]

would a 215 be okay? 225 seems a little too big

195? :(
205? :|
225? :)
235? :D

what's with the love for pizza cutter tires around here?

[e30_325es]

So what will the end offset be?

[T La]

21 i suppose...

[2002maniac]

Roll your fenders. 225's will fit great.

[T La]

i probably will i just feel like i don't really need all of that rubber with my little four banger haha. i'm leaning towards a 215 now because i don't really want a bulging tire.

205's fit nice and square with the lip of a 7" rim... 225's sit better on 7.5" wide rims in my opinion.

205/55-15 is the "right" size.

205/55-15 is the "right" size.

Too bad nobody makes them anymore... :(

I'll be going with 225/45-15 on 15x8's. A little smaller diameter than I want (since I'm already taching out in 2nd), but nobody makes a TW140 225/50-15 tire. 24" is a tough overall height to deal with. I wish I could find some 3.3-ish gears...
