I bought some wheels and need to know what size tires to look for.They are 15x8.5 in the front, and 15x9 in the rear.They will be going on a 240 coupe(s13), once I find one, haha.The car will be a daily driver with a drift event here and there, but more than likely I will change wheels before events since I don't want to mess these up.Thanks for the help in advance!

off the top of my head i cant think of any 15" street tires that are wider than 225, so that might be what you end up with

Yea, I was cruising some VW forums, it seems those guys are amongst the kings of 15's, lol.

Based on the same size of my wheels and others on those forums I'm going in the direction of 205/50/15 in the front and 225/50/15 in the rear.
