    Default 195/55 or 205/50 on 15x6 Wheel..95' GS-R wheels

    I've got some 95' GSR wheels today, and I don't mind putting on the same size tire, as stock ( 195/55/15 ) , but i do want to get some advice on putting a 205/50/15 on a 15 x 6 wheel. how do they look, does the tire look too wide for the wheel, and any downsides on have a wider tire for the width of the wheel. I had a 205/50 on my 15 x 7 Borbet wheels and they were perfect. Let me know what you think.. Thanks.

    I'd put the 205 tires on them, it'll fill the fenderwell a little bit more. 195s on a Honda just looks too skinny, no downside that I know of going from 195 to 205 homie!

    I am running 195/50 Khumo Ecsta 711s on mine, it's decent.

    Go with 205's, i got some put on my z from a 195, you can tell quite the difference in stablity. well i did go from a 14 inch rim to a 15 though, i highly recomend the falken ze512's also, they have alot of forward and lateral stability.
