I tried doing something like that on my 14's<BR> If you go wider one size you must go down one size in the series size.<P> I have 185/65/14 and would have to go <BR> 195/60/14<P> and on yours 205/55/15 = 215/50/15<BR> or 225/45/15 235/40/15<P> Im not sure but I think a 235 would be too wide for the car. I would go with 215's They are wide and look aggressive too.

The biggest that has been fit to stock GS wheels is 225/50/15. Stock is 205/55/15, which has a sidewall of 113mm, while the 225's have a sidewall of 112.5mm, so the speedometer will be very close to the stock reading. <P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><A HREF="http://www.wuname.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl" TARGET=_blank><B><I>Wu Name</I></B></A>
