» CMF Memberust a word or warning with the 205's i not sure what the 'good' width rim is but i thought wider = better on mine and it turned out worse on my 6" rims as the tire to too wide.
i got these results from the tyre calcultor on the tyre bible page, your rims are 6.5 if i remember correctly?
195/45R15.......ideal rim witdth 6.5x15 upto 8x15
195/50R15.......ideal rim witdth 5.5x15 upto 7x15 (That's the GIII's evade has, looks ideal for 6.5" rims)
205/50R15.......ideal rim witdth 5.5x15 upto 7x15
hmmmm, well its the other way around there, my little 14's>
195/45R14.......ideal rim width 6.5x15 upto 8x15
...and i have 14x6" rims, heh > i think that's why they suddenly/unexpectedly feel like their about to roll off the rim midway through heavy cornering, very scarey.
...i reckon the sidewall on the 205/50 is going to look weird on such a little car with 15's though, may look like big sedan wheels,
