Rims/tires question.

[GBSilviaS15]

My stock tires right now read:

P195/60R15 87T

I want 17'' rims that are close to these stock specs, but I also want pretty tires that'll clear the fenders and all that junk by the suspension.

What size rims and tires should I get?

Here is how to read/calculate tire size.

215/40ZR17

215 is the section with in mm. this tire is 215mm wide.40 is the aspect ratio. 40% of 215 or 86mm is the height f the tire.ZR is the speed rating17 is the size of the rim

With this info you can calculate the height of any tire/wheel combo. Some manufacturers deviate a little from these specs hence there is some (minimal) deviation from manufacturer to manuf.

it's in the faq section under "tire sizes" for the easier to read graph but this should answer your questions
