Any of those will fit. I personally run 205/50/25 Falkein Azenis Sports.

Maybe if you stuck them in a red wagon and gently pushed them so you don't scratch the paint on your front bumper. I'd put a towel on the bumper just to be safe but I'm sure it would work. He He He.....

I think he meant 205/50/15. Would this be okay on my 240sx stock wheels? I was thinking of the Falken Azenis as well. Anyone?

Ok. I need to get new tires and I want to know the pros and cons of the 205 vs 195.What I can think of just off the top of my head is that the 195 is going to have a slightly smaller sidewall vs 205. But the 205 is a little wider. So anyone know any thing elsa?EDIT: This is my 666th post :angryfire :devil :firehead :firedevil

28" is available! tires are $1000 per!

205/50-15 is sweet, but it's overall diameter is shorter than the stock tire size, so speedo and gear ratio will not read accurate.

Isn't the Azenis available in 205/50-15? That'd be awesome..

Yeah, that is the only size Azenis that will fit on stock S13 wheels. (That is what I run) It only throws the speedo off a little. Like when the speedo says you are going 70, you are really going 65.

Well the 2 factory recommened sizes are 195/60/15 and 205/60/15, or so it says on my glove box. Also, I can attest to the fact that 215/60/15s will fit too, they guy before me had them on but shredded the back 2 doing burnouts so I am going to go back to factory spec.

budget tires for now baby!!! Using some ZE502's. Got em for 200 all the way around mounted and balanced. I need all season since SF gets unpredictable weather...well correction pretty much foggy/moist weather for most of the year and besides it was a damn good price and I was broke when the tire thing came up. lol

dammit. I just talked to my buddy again, he said he could have hooked me up with some azenis at 205/50/15 for 300 *shakes fist* but yeah apparently he doesn't like to ship tires either since he says shipping on tires is too expensive.
