You can try 195/55/R15 or if you dont mind heavier tyres but more contact on the road, can get 205/55/R15 which im using now.

The offset / desired stance will determine what tire size you need . If the offset is higher than say +30 i'd say 205/55 or if the offset is lower than +20 go with a 195/55 for a slight tire stretch/ more fender clearence...

yea itll be between a 195 or 205 for width but sidewall should always stay at 55 if you want to run close to oem sidewall sizing and keep your speedo relatively accurate

fyi:
16'' wheels have a 50 sidewall
17'' has a 45 sidewall
18'' has a 40

depends on the width of the tire..

205 55 15 and 225 50 15 are about the same height.

15 x 6.5? Depends on the wheel offset and any suspension mods. Most common tyre sizes include: 205/50/15; 195/55/15; and 205/55/15.

true i was referring to a 205.. which would be pointless on an 18

i really want to try out some 215/45s on my new 16s just to see what its like. never tried that out

Anyone here ever run a 15x6.5 wheel on 205/50 tire? What did you think? Once again, Im looking at getting some new wheels.

Im using a 15x6.5 wheel with tire size 205/55/R15 and they are perfect, i guess it should not be much difference from 205/50/R15, jus alittle more bumpy.
