[scoobygms210]

so i wanna get something new and sticky and the 205 50 15 size is cheaper with way better tire higher quality brand tires with a smaller tire wall .. so would there be any reason not to run the 105 50 15 on stock suspension would it looks silly ? or be to slow idk any one ever seen it or got a pic ?

Those will be over an inch in diameter smaller than the stock diameter you should be shooting for (23.1 versus 24.2"). 205/55-15 would work a little better. You'll be increasing your gap above the tire by just over a half an inch if looks are a concern.

well im looking to used them for autocross only so looks dont matter to much i mean i wanna get a second set of stock wheels with the 205 50 15
cus they have less side wall and u can get performace tires for around 75-88 a piece locally

and a inch lower to the ground might help the center of balance alil too idk thou asking for help cus im no pro with suspension and tires im a motor kinda guy

You'll only be about a half inch lower not a full inch inch. While the diameter is a inch smaller the radius is one half that.

Hell, I have 205/60/R15's on my wagon.

I love it, such a smoother ride, and the tire is going to last real long as long as I keep the alignment on point.
