Keep in mind that 15" wheels are not going to look nearly that big on your car, just a heads up.

Search for the "tire calculator" to see what the best option will be

What are your plans with the rims you have now? Where do you live?
i don't really know yet

r is the speed rating on the tire. the z would be the best imo
i already looked into that, thanks

what do you mean? do you mean they won't look that big compared to the picture, or that big compared to my current 17's, i was just looking for something a little more functional, compared to the boats i have on my car now, i was comparing the 15" because the manufacture rated them at 11.9 lbs. each, while my current rims are i believe 21.?? lbs. each, so that's a plus. i was considering getting 16's, but that only an inch smaller than what i have, i didn't think that would give me the comfort that i was looking for. any tire recommendations, i was looking for a bit softer sidewall than what i have now?

he means that whoever photoshopped them onto your car made them look more like 16's than 15's.

that pic is someone elses car, not mine, and i do think they are 16's, but i'm just worried that the 15's will be more comfortable.
