i second that.

for real man...first of all no legit tire shop will even mount different size tires than those on the stock rims....

if ur gonna spend money on tires..ur prob gonna spend like 70 bucks a pop plus the mounting and balancing...make that close to 350-400

just save up a bit more..u wont get name brand rims but u can definately pull off a wheel and tire package for like 700 up depending on how much u save...get urself at least a pair of 17x7's

save the 15's for the winter

205/60/15 will have a slightly smaller sidewall, which is better, although not by much. It will make put your speedo slightly askew also. I'd assume that it really isn't worth changing sizes for such a small difference. I think Ratko is running 205/60/15, you could ask him.
