Changing tires on 2g GST, need quick help.

[Race94]

What size tires should i put in the car?
I know they are 205/55/16 stock, but are they this size all around? should i put in larger? like 215/55/16?

What tread? rating? size? brand? etc do you reccomend for a GST since i want good daily driving tires and better performance than my cheap-o tires.

I need most help on the size.

u could put 215 55 16 all around i would stick to the Bridgestone Pole Position Potenza S-03 or S-02...or maybe some Sp7000

Are these the 16" 5-spoke rims?

I just ordered a set and I wanna make sure I get the right size tires, the tires I'm getting are available in 215-55 and 205-55 ... will they both fit?

The car has 215's on it now but they aren't on stock rims.

Thanks

Oh- its a 95 GSX.

Tirerack has both sizes listed, hence my confusion.

I had 225/50/16 on my stockers. It handled alot better that the stock 205/55.

Alright, thanks.

How exactly can you figure out the maximum width of a tire that will fit on a wheel?

Try to 'search' first... But it is all dependent on the car, wheel, offset...
