what I run
I think it really depends if you drop the GE or not. I am running 215/35r18 ET 42 with no rubbing. I also had run 195/60r15 ET 40 with no rubbing. Note that I was on stock suspension. Also with both setups I had over 400lbs in the car and it did not rub. I want to mention that I read somewhere in this forum that someone was running 205/55r16 on the stock sport wheels. I was thinking of running 205/50 on the stock wheels with winter tires.

OK. Thanks, runbikerun, IIEZ, Jim. Nice to know that 205/50-16 will work on the stock wheels. I should have mentioned, btw, that I plan to leave the car stock otherwise. Just want better tires.
Apparently the problem is more on the outside, the fender side, than the inside?

Cool. One more question. Since 205/50-16 on stock wheels works, I assume that 195/55-16 would also work: the specs of (for example) the Potenza G019 show it being only .1" larger radius than the OEMs and not as wide as the 205s.

I just installed bridgestone potenza 205/50/16 on a jazz 2009 and it works perfect. Braking and the grip in corners is much better. The roads in Jordan, Middle East are great for testing a tire!

I just had my BFG 185/65R/15 put on. Can anyone tell me how much my speedo will be off if any?
Oh why did they put those green valve caps on? I must get center caps or cheap hub caps.
Wow quite the dif in the ride. Much softer.

Thanks Jim
I learnt something today. Green is Nitro. Will I go faster? Thanks awptickese
Pics just added. Talk about clashing. Green, blue, silver and black and a bit of rust in center. I may look for some cheap hub caps.

I think my 205 15s on et42 (enkei rpf1) rub on big bumps ... that wasn't supposed to happen I thought. I think it's in the back from the sound of it. It has to be a damn big bump, it's rare.

Hi, I'm from Australia SYD.
I've just purchased the GD3 '04 VTI-S, the size of the tires on the car are 185/55 15 on the stock rims. I just want to know is this the stock tyre size for the stock car? I need to replace these tires soon but i want to see my opinion on sizes.
