Tire Size w/ 15 in. wheels?
I recently purchased 15x6.5 Rota Slipstreams.
I drive a '97 EX Coupe.
What size tire should I buy, the car being stock ride height?
I know popular sizes are 205/50/15, 195/50/15, and 195/55/15.
Basically it comes down to 205 or 195, and 50 or 55.
Thanks for the help.

Little of both, I guess. There's a lot of sidewall so it gives it kind of a reverse stretched look. But I liked the tread pattern on the Kumho Ecsta AST's.
That's how they look on a 15x6 rim. You can sort of see the sidewall effect I was talking about. That might be eliminated with a 15x6.5 rim.

Right, half the time my front tires look like they're a little low but the air pressure is fine, just looks odd due to the wide tire.
I did the same thing with my old CRX rims. I put a 195 tire on it when a 175 or 185 was recommended. I kinda like the "extra sidewall" look.
