Yup... what he said.
so if you're plus sizing and want IDENTICAL ratios then...
15's - 195/55/15
16's - 205/45/16
17's - 205/40/17

205-50-15 has a 0.4inch drop in height, that was originally what i wanted to put on but i don't want anymore of a drop so i have to go with 195-55-15z

I had 205/50/15, they are mint size!!

well i have a prokit tha tis dropping me 1.4 inches and if i got 50 series tires it will drop me another 0.4, which makes teh total drop 1.8. The question is, will the car hit speed bumps n **** like that with that much of a drop?

umm no... the overall tire size may be 0.4 inches smaller, but you'll only be 1/2 that closer to the ground, so 0.2 inches. But really, with the stiffer sidewall I honestly don't think it'll make ANY difference at all. I certainly never noticed it!

Right now I'm using a 205/40/16 tire, and THAT's small, but it works really well to reduce my gear ratios.

alright, i'll take ur advice and hope it works out for me (assuming around .2'' more of a drop). 205-50-15 it is!
