Quick Question, what size tires did you put on these wheels?
I'm debating between the two "stock" sizes.. 195/60-15 and 205/60-15...

actually i had 205/50r15 on them. that is what the previous owner (nevin) had on them. check out the bfg g-force sport. great summer tire. wouldn't recommend them in the snow though

The 215/55-15 is a near perfect match.. but it doesn't exist anywhere..

The 205/55-15 is a bit too small.. the 205/60-15 is a bit large..

Probably have to stay stock.. Eh, no big loss. I would prefer a slightly wider tire to help protect the rims. we'll see.. in the middle of changing the timing belt right now. ... taking a break...

i would have gone 205/55r16 if i would have put the tires on.... they are wider than stock and if u go with the bfg they have a wheel guard built into the tire.... idk what else to call it. but the rubber does protect the wheel.
