upgrading to 15s

[ENEMY_]

so I'm running 175/65/14 at the moment would 195/50/15 be a good tire set?

any opinions and recommendations would be appreciated

that is a good size, just make sure you get wheels with an appropriate offset so you will clear the spring seats. Fenders may have to be rolled but thats no biggie.

What is the correct offset to aim for? I dont know what I'm running right now

[resuwrecked]

I'm not really sure. I have 195/65/15 on front with 205/60 on the rear on a set of wheels I got off a junker 240sx. I'm sure someone here knows what the dimensions are on their 15's w/ 195/50's.

I've always been one to work with what I have available, so I "modify" my car to fit the add-on parts.

I've got 15x6½ +38mm offset and 195/45R15 and I just rolled the fender a little on the front

i got 15x6.5 39 offset and 195/50/15 on them... its the best tire size that you can get easy and cheap...

15's scare me... do issues with them rubbing the purches? do they ever bottom out? with my 14 195 60 14's with 2 people in the car they will bottom out on high speed bumps. i can add a heavier spring but im just running out of suspension travel with the bigger wheels.

Im running 1955015 with aspire incut springs....honda accord rims with 5/16 spacer in the rear....no rubbing unless you use evasive maneuvers.

I ran mx-3 gs 15s with 195/50/15 there a 15x6.5 with a 35mm offset. The fronts cleared with minor fender rolling. The rears would clear fine with aspire struts or trimming the spring seat and running coil overs.
