I'm running 205/55's because the 50's I had before were a little too stiff... I think the car LOOKS better with the 55's. They fill the fender well fully. I didn't have to roll the lips or make any changes to the car. The 205/55's fit just right with my stock 4lug fuchs. I was also concerned with speedo accuracy. Not that I'm ever going THAT fast... but it's nice to know you don't think you're going 80 when you're really only going 50. Also, because of gearing... going with too low of a profile may be counter productive if you intend to drive twisties very much.
As a side note, at some point I intend to go to 225/50-17's, but that will have to wait until I get my fender flares... and a few other upgrades. |
