    From the "wheels and tires" sticky:

    [size] [outer diameter] [ratio to stock]
    195/55-15 23.44” 100.1%
    205/50-15 23.07” 99.4%
    195/50-15 22.68” 97.7%

    As for eBay, I can't say anything...I find most of my stuff there too, lol.

    I'd go 205/50 or a 195/50. It depends on the tire too. For instence a 195/50 Toyo R1R is wider than a 205/50 Falken Azenis.

    Re: tire sizes?

    i run 205/50/15 falken 912 with my fat five rims lowered 2.25 inches with no prob...i do notice that they lose traction in 1st gear and when i stop fast they are not as sticky...but i think a sticker tire would solve the issue

    depends on your offset and width of your wheel. But I'm gonna stop there.
