2003 blue sedan S-Tech + Tokico Blues...
I've got a popped tire on my stock wheels and thinking about throwing on my Konig Minuz 15" +40et wheels from my other car instead of buying new tires.

The problem is that the tire is a 205/50/15 that I think might look a bit small.

Does anyone have that size on a sedan? curious to see a pic... I'm aware of the change in gearing, but what do you guys think about rocking that size tire?

205/55/15 and not dropped yet. I realize mine looks like a jacked up jeep compared to some on here, but with a stock suspension it's not RIDICULOUS. I'm not embarassed by it, but I realize it can be better given more time and more money.

Good for race track, useless for anything else. 205/55 or 195/60. Use the tire calculator.

Yeah, I've used the calculator already. Actually the wheels are street wheels for my miata(where the calculator is borrowed from) and the tires are fairly new BFG G-Force Sports, so I don't want to take a loss on them...

I guess it's more of a cosmetic question; Will it look like crap? Dated posts won't let me see pics

What is your opinion on replacing just one tire on a street only car? I know it's better to at least keep the tires equally worn(or new) if possible, especially when on the same axel, but I don't want to buy two tires. If that were the case, I'd just buy 4 new tires for the 15's (195/60/15).

well i had 15inch gt3s wrapped in 205/50/15 and it looked REALLY small on my sedan. i have 16s now and it looks perfect.

Well, I have them on my car now, and I'll try to post a pic. It really does look retarded, lol...but seriously.

However, I'm going to rock them until I feel like replacing the tires. My S-techs are not on my car right now either so I'm 4x4'n with mini-wheels (bad combo I know). I'm blacking out my headlight housing and I'll put the springs on this week. Hopefully it will look decent enough for now...

they will just look small. do what you gotta do though. as for me, it's either stock wheel/tire size, or bigger wheels. can't get over the insane wheel/fender gap.

I can't add anything pertinent to this thread but that is one nice looking Miata.

Thanks man. I'm looking for some 13x8 RB's for it now.

Mugenman, your car looks tight.


As for my civic...
I've blacked out the headlights housing, installed my S-Tech's (gap looks good now), and added an RSX Type-S rear sway bar. I just need the rear camber kit and an alignment. I think it looks really good with the 15's! It handles way better too!

S-Techs will not give camber problems. It's too small of a drop and our suspension design doesn't camber in too much (in the front). However, 205/65R15 is a huge tire for your car. you should have; 185/65R15, 195/60R15 or 205/55R15 (best looking). Also, S-Techs don't play well with sedans. The rear sits a bit lower than it should. And start your own thread next time.
