    205/50/15?????

    i own a 2003 ep3 and i recently just bought a 15 inch buddy club wheels and i was thinking of putting 205/50/15 size of tires on it. will that tire size increase the gap or is it going to be the same. i have 195/60/15 right now on my stock wheels and i have at least an inch gap. i have tokico shocks and h&r springs for my suspension.

    Having 205/50/15 will increase the gap, and make the car look goofy.

    should i just get the same size or maybe 205/60/15? i just want the tires to be a little wider but same meat on the tires. unless il get a coilover suspension for it.

    205/50/15 is almost 5% smaller than stock, does look a bit goofy, and will throw off your speedo/odometer by a decent amount. 205/55/15 is within 1% of the stock size - the tire selection isn't awesome, but it's worth a look.

    Same. It won't throw the speedo off real bad but it will throw it off, it'll say you're going 4mph faster than waht you are. Any bigger tire than 50 will make those 15s look even smaller to the untrained eye and 60+ is too thick of a tire. For 15's IMO 50 sidewall is perfect, although I'd like bigger rims ~ you work with what you got. At least you're on H&R springs, I'm rockin prokit (roughly an inch drop lol) so my gap is retarded huge.
