I know the 205's were options on the s13 fastback so they should fit fine on my s13 coupe stock aloys right? i have the 195's on now and want to upgrade.

yep, you CAN fit wider than that even, but really shouldnt, you wont even be able to tell the difference between 195 and 205, but i did it anyway, cant hurt.

205/55/15 ... that'd be a good choice for a stock wheel.

Get it in a good grippy compound

...and imo, it looks soo much better than both the 195 and 205 60s

I was running a 205/50 on the stock S13 alloys. It creates a even bigger wheel gap if you are not lowered yet.

not much since you're going wider too. It'll be like .4% off or something.

It's actually lsited in the MAST propper fitment manuals for our cars, so your safe as far as load index, OD etc.

the 205-50-15 is NOT however, it's got reduced load capacity, and is too short for correct gearing, etc.
