Best guess on this tire size...

[IMG][/IMG]

I'm thinking it's 195/55/15...but may be a 195/50/15. I really don't think this is 16'. What do you guys think?

I'm looking at SSR Type Fs and want to match this set up. I'm looking at the 15x6 (8 lbs!!!!) and was wondering if a 195 would fit this size wheel.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: BTW, I realize this is a Yaris. LOL

Would a 205 series tire fit a 15x6 wheel?

Yes. I had Falken Azenis RT-615 tires wrapped around my GS-R Fat Fives when I had my DB8. They fit with no problems.

Opinions welcome...

Trying to decide between Enkei RPF1s (~$880 for a set) or SSR Type C (~$1700 for a set). Both are a considerable weight savings...but the Enkeis are roughly half the price.

Color options of the Enkei's:

I ended up going with the Enkei in black...they will come in on Tuesday hopefully. I wanted 15s for maximum weight savings. Stepping up to RPF1 16s increases the weight of the wheel by almost 50%.

1700 for a set pf SSR wheels is tough to swallow...and I was gonna have to wait till JUNE for shipment from Japan. One thing that would have done, if I bought the SSR wheels, is wrap the wheels with the 3M "dry carbon" vinyl. I think it would have looked pretty amazing...carbon fiber wheels

Unfortunately the thin spokes of the Enkei don't lend themselves to vinyl wrapping.
