    195/65 i believe is OE

    Edit: actually it's not, but there's something screwy about it. Like 195/60 is stock, but 195/65 gets the speedo to read closer to the actual speed. Or the other way around. Something like that.
    The first car I ever rode in was an e30

        Some early cars came with 195/60. Stock on the rest was 195/65.

              205/60 is perfect for stock weaves in my opinion.

                  I had a set of these a long time ago (almost 4 years) and here are some left over pix. I might have some pix with them on but thats a hunt.

                      Yeah, 195-65 was the factory size, but you won't have much for choices in that size. If you want more than one or two tires to chose from then your best option is 195-60. There are some decent sportier tires in that size.

                        205/60 they actually make the weave look better.
