best size tires for 99-00,03 si rims
I still running firestone tires 185/60/15. I planning to get some new tires next month, i still thinking should i get 205/55/15 or 205/50/15. I Have tien coil-over and those thing can't go as lower as i want, i pretty max out right now in front and somewhat in back. If i get 205/50/15 i going have aleast 1 1/2 gap. What do you guys perfer what look good on 15"?

its up to your if you want to alter your speedometer as much for lower profile tires. question is do you use your car for daily driving or performance wise? i personally would go with 205/55/15 because it doesnt alter the speedo as much as the 50 series. IMO, if u got 205/50/15 and have wheel gap, it'd look funny like lowrider wheels. if i were in your situation, i'd go with 55 series. if you do track, race, or anything of that nature, 50 is the better choice over 55.

the one that have closer overall diameter is the 205/50R15. Larger and it will throw the speedo and odo off.
