After searching the board going through the FAQ

looks like I come up with several different sizes for tires and wheels



I would like to go with the Panasport FS

Now i'm thinking 15's with a 4x110 bolt pattern now what tire size I've read 205/50/15's i've read 195/50/15 I don't want it to rub if i can help it *and yes i realize that using a larger wheel it will naturally rub*



Suggestions comments ect....



BTW does anyone know how much the Panasports are?

went to their site no prices looked on Tirerack nothing listed.

But if no one knows off hand i'm going to call them tomorrow and find out....



Thanx guys

I recommend 205's for a little wheel rub now and again on hard corners.



If your after not much wheel rub at all, 195's. It will also depend on if you have an a/m steering wheel as well. Smaller ones will disrupt your 'lock to lock' causing wheel rub when you think you should be right.

I have been running 205/50/15's on my car for the last 10,000 miles, and even with frequent track days, auto-xes, and daily driving, I have never even once had a problem with rubbing. I am also running RB springs, front and rear and Tockicko Illuminas, all around.

I recommend 205's. they are most deffiently worth it.
