well i don't know, the previous owner of my car may have put the wider tires on my car or it might be that 205's are stock on hicas models. either way it's not much of a difference.

It should be 205/60/15, but you could go 195 or 215.

im pretty sure its 195/60/15.

Richard A Parr - check the "New!, Tires, Wheels, Brakes, Suspension" section, you can go up to 205's on the stock wheel. and a smaller sidewally id think. but i wouldnt buy better tires for cheap wheels. because eventually youll get tired of looking stock and go with some bigger wheels etc.

stock is 195/60R15 on most, but can be 205/60R15.

It is most definately NOT 225s! My dad has those on his Porsche and they are huge. My 1996 240sx has 195s, btw.

The S13's without the sport package had 195/60R15's all around, whereas the S13's with the sport package had 205/60R15's all around. I think. :-)

to find the correct size for your car look at the sticker in the glovebox
