Put some wheels and tires on my GE. 205/60/15
Wheels: Drag DR-23, 15x6.5
Tires: Goodyear Eagle GT, 205/60/15
Springs: Eibach Pro-Kit, 1.2" F / 1.4" R
The difference in grip is tremendous. The car comes stock with 175/75/15s on 15/5.5" wheels. The extra 30mm of (stickier) rubber grips relentlessly, and the springs cut down on the car's ample body roll. There's almost too much tire for the car, I can barely get the ABS to kick in :P
Excuse the crappy pics, I was losing light...

It was a combination of a few factors... i wanted 15s, so I had to get a pretty big tire in any case. Technically the correct size would have been a 205/55 (rather than 60 series) but the 60s were about 40% cheaper

No tint at all, I had to edit the pics a bit because they were too dark, that's probably why the windows look so blue.

You might find a way to check the difference between how fast you are going and the speedometer reading.... The way it looks is amazing.... I really like it a lot, when others see it some may copy the your look.

It throws off the speedometer by about 2%, which isn't too bad. According to my GPS it was reading a bit slow with the stock tires, so it's probably spot-on now :P

The taller tire is the way to go IMO if your not planning on lowering the car because it fills the wheelwell in for one, gives you a better/safer ride if you live where the roads aren't the best two and three, like your said earlier, its cheaper.

rubb'n 4 me = airshocks 4 the GD3
Hey Axe have any rubbing? The 4th shot looks like the tire is very close to the fender, I got spacers on mine and the taller tire was too much so I'm putting a set of airshocks on. But I like the way the tires are pushed out of the wheel wells w/ the spacer & wouldn't change that The A.S. will provide alot more payload in the back, never could put too much weight back there B4.
UR GE looks great with the tire/wheel setup, take care
