Why not? It depends on your wheel. If we're talking about a 15" 7.0 then sure... that will handle *everything* from a 5.0 (195) to a 7.5 (205) wheel. So for a 15 wheel, I would put at least a 50 series tire, otherwise it would be kinda dumb looking and the performance would be wasted. plus, it'd be tough to even find anything smaller. Toyo only makes *2* tires in a 45 series tire for 15".but clearly those are not the best sizes for those sizes
16" is a little more flexible. Now you have 195 thru 245 to work with, therefore a 16 wheel will work with everything from a 6.0 to a 9.5 (for the 245, of course)... and these will come in a range from 40 to 55 series.
17" (IMO the most performance (and looks) for the dollar) 205 thru 265 is common, in 35 - 50 series. Now a 265 can handle a 9.0 - 10.5 wheel, with most Tire Manufacturers recommending a 9.5
So what I'm getting at is it's whatever you want to put on your car that will fit. Just check the width of the wheel to get the optimum tire width. Obviously, if you own an Si, you're not putting anything bigger than a 225 (eek!) in your wells, unless you're cutting some of your car off. I know a little bit about these #'s, so if you have a width of wheel in mind, I could recommend a tire for it.
