New hotness (only paid $60 for all four!) No idea what they are off of. They are 15x6, 50mm offset.

They just barely fit. They have 195/65/15s on them right now, but they don't have a hell of a lot of tread left. When I switch out to new tires, I'll probably go 195/50/15s. I might go 205/50/15s.

Any comments?

195 65 15 is a good size
195 50 15 look ridiculous , they did on my car anyway
205's may be great but make sure they clear the rear wheel well flanges, mine scrape on hard bottom outs, and body shifting on uneven surfaces.
look, 205 60 15 on the back, 195 50 15 on the front

Hmm. Maybe a 205/50, then?

i have 205-50-15 in the front and 195-60-15 in the back...i ran the 195-60-15 till i mest one of the rims and i had to replace them since i had a spare set of fat fives....205-50 are always more money cuz its a popular size for the tunner club...just get a good brand tire.

Are they Saturn wheels? They are LIGHT as hell, that's for sure! They felt lighter than the 13" steelies, lol!

Definitely get some pictures up of the 205/50/15s when you get them, if you don't mind. It'll be a month or two down the road before I can get new tires on these wheels, but I'd love to see how the 205s look.

*edit* Oh hell, didn't see Messy's post. Are you lowered at all, Messy? I'm wanting to get the Sprint springs to put on the Accord, but not until I can locate a set of 84-87 UCAs from a Prelude.

I love the way the 205/50 looks on the front of your car man. I'll give up some MPG to actually have some damn tread on the road!

That said, looks like I can get 205/50 Kuhmo's from a buddy for about $50/apiece.

i ran 205/50/15s right round and had no worries with any rubbing.
i had to roll the lips on the rear guards just to be safe but they didnt come close
and its lowered 1.5 inches
its more likely the rim offset that'l give you probs
and just to make it sweeter, the speedo was more accurate than the 185/70/13 stockies
a mate of mine is in the force and i got him to check with the radar gun
used to read 5% over now not even 1% over
