i'm pretty sure you can run 205/50/15 if your car is not slammed to the ground (R-compound tire sizes).

my car is not lowered....so wut sizes would be best for da car..along with using the recommended 195 55 r15?

DumbasSi

As long as the tires remain the same overall diameter then you will be ok. Too big or small in diamater will throw off your speedometer and odometer. 205/50/15 would be a good size because they are slightly wider and lower in profile.

i am using 205/50/15's on my SIR rims. My car is lowered 1.75" as well. I've never had a problem with rubbing or anything b/c my car isn't that low. By the way the car is a 95 EX coupe.

As suggested by DumbasSi, you have to minimize the discrepancy in speedometer (& odometer) readings.

The OEM tire dimension for the 5th gen. VX is 165-70-R13.

If you use the existing tires (OEM SiR tires - 195-55-R15), your speedometer reading is 6.1% too slow.

You may want to check the discrepancy with other tire dimensions with the tire size calculator:
