tire help

Just ordered xxr 501s 15x8 et+15. I'm on tanabe df now. According to the tire calculator my prospective wheel would be 205/55. Can anybody confirm or suggest, I like a little bit of stretch on the wheel. Stretch isnt import tho low maintenance is. Thanx

Anyone with a similar setup thoughts... what tire size did you use, regrets? Thanks

i think 195/45 would be a good idea for you. you can check tyrestretch.com if you wanna see pictures of stretchness. Keep in mind the 195/45 can be kinda hard to find...

195/50 or 45 seems to be a common size when I ran it through the calculator it was way bigger than stock. I forgot that there would be stretch and it wouldn't. Be that tall in real life. I think your right that's more my size after all. Thanks

I run a 195/45 on an 8 inch wide wheel. Dropped on progress coilovers. With the 195/45 it IS GOING TO THROW OFF YOUR SPEEDO!!!! Mine is off by about 5 mph now. so if the speedo says 60 i am running about 53-55 mph... just a heads up. But other than that mine are a little stretched and I think the look sick.. just my .02. Oh and i Bought mine from (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-195-45-15-INCH-FEDERAL-SUPER-STEEL-TIRES-195-45R15-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2eb414d001QQitemZ20058 9758465QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccesso ries)
