What size tire?

Hey everyone. Quick opinion question. What size tire do you think looks best on a 15 x 6 rim? I've currently got 205/65's on them and to me they look to fat. Any suggestions of a good size and ratio for me to get when I pick up some new rubbers on Wed? Thanks!

look too fat? what you want some honda pizza cutters?

do you want to get some low profiles? cuz you could get something with a 40 sidewall, but your spedometer would overread by like 30%

get some 215/60/15, they fit perfectly, exact same ratio and they're 1cm wider, fatter = better

but it is a tire with a high sidewall, so you want to get as stiff a tire as you can

good luck, both of those sizes are kind of odd balls

no, not quite that low. I looked at my dads tires, which were also on 15" wheels, and his looked a little nicer, not quite as fatty as mine. His turned out to be 205/60/15. Not too big of a difference size wise, but it looked a good bit different. My mom's on the other hand were 215/65/15's and they looked huge! Basically, I just thought the sidewalls on the 205/65/15's I have were too tall and was looking for an optimal size with a smaller sidewall, so they wouldn't look so chunky.

well to maintain the same circumferance you'll have to get either 205/65 or 215/60

or you can get new rims, these tires are pretty much the biggest car tires on 15 inch rim
