      Why do you need 205/50? Just curious.

      Proper size on an E30 is 205/55 or 225/50.

              195/60-15 is also a good place to look.

                                  This.

                                  There's your plebeian tires(of which there are a ton), then there's the slightly more aggressive such as the Z1 Starspecs, Potenza RE-11s, Neova AD08s, Kumho XS, etc.
