Can anyone recommend a tire size for the stock 15" steel wheels? I would like to go as wide as possible, but not too tall. Car will be lowered. Additionally, is there any benefit to staggering the tires (smaller tires in front)? Sizes front vs. rear?

Check your tire manufacturers spec on acceptable rim widths. In a 15" rim, a 205 width tire is probably okay between 5.5" and 7.5" rim (with an optimum rim width of 6" or 6.5").
Although it may fit statically, I don't believe a 225 width tire is approved on a 5.5" rim. Not only unsafe, but less performance than a correct tire/rim size selection. |
