Max tire size for 15" wheels?? help plz
Hey gang, the front end of my '95 Stealth is all jacked up so i need to get a good alignment, killed my tires so i'm just gonna get 4 new ones. Its a base model with the stock 15" wheels on it.
I know stock tires are 205/65R15's, but they look sooo small on the car. I dont have money to buy bigger rims, so i was wondering whats the biggest tire i could put on the stock rims that would stay on the rims and be OK with clearance etc... 215? 225? 245 even? and should i stay with 65?
also, if im going bigger, how much will it mess with my speedo...
thanks for any help..

205 is the width. I do not think its a good idea to go wider. I don't think that what you wanted based on your comment about the speedometer.
65 is the sidewall height. I think this is what you wanted to change and I can't fine a tire with a larger side wall on a 15 inch rim.
I did some looking on tirerack.com and with a 15inch wheel I can't see any other options.
Based on the average 3S owners comments on the car lowering the car might fix the issue. The common complaint is the wheel gap above the tire.
