I cant say without knowing what the rim specs are. I have 195/55R15 on my car for summer.. its wide enough for a light car like that plus there isnt much space to go bigger really.

oh..cause i was told that i could do 205/50R/15 on my car and it would be fine..i just wanted to know how wide you could go...thanks

I suppose you could put 205's on, but I dont know how the clearance would be.

ok you have the same rims as me so ill give you a straight answer,
205s will fit but you need to add a small (cant remember how small but like 1/4 - 3/8 inch) spacer in the rear otherwise the tires will be stuck on the strut housing, with the spacer the tires will rub for a little while but that was just from the letters on my tires, if you want i can get the spacers for about $8 each i could get some and send them to you

sir it will depend mostly on two factors. first is the size/height of the sidewall and 2nd, the offset of your rims. 205s i think are the fattest tires you can comfortably fit in your ae92. i used to have 205/45/16s in my ae92. but i have to put 1/4 inch spacers at the rear to keep the inner sides of the tires from rubbing against the suspension. i also replaced the rear bolts with longer ones to compensate for the installation of the spacers.

I put 205/50R/15 on my AE92 GTS because someone told me they would fit! I returned them the next day because the sidewalls were getting torn to shreds!

195/50R/15 work quite well now!

yeah... 195/50-15 are closest to stock... anything after that is too wide and too tall and your speedo will be off by a lot... and on top of that.. like mississaugaGTS stated above.. you'll ruin your tires.
