    195/50/15 too small for a 91 318i?

    I just ordered a set of Kumho Ecsta 195/50/15's from Tire Rack and they called to confirm thats what I really wanted because I would be sacrificing 736 pounds of payload. They are going on a set of 15x6 BBS wheels, I'm not sure what would be best.

    Wayyyyyy undersized.

    205/55/15 is stock diameter. If you want to slim down because of the rim, 195/60/15.

          you better have some sort of suspension. if the car is on the floor then it'll look good... but fender gap will make it look 10x worse.
