Tire and Rim Fitment Question

[drifts14x]

Hi there, I am looking at buying some Watanabe RS-8's for my S13 and I have a question regarding the fitment. I have the stock alloys that come on everybody's 240SX and tires in P195/60R15. The Watanabe's are 15x6.5 in the front and 15x7 in the rear. Will my stock tires fit on those rims while I save up for new tires or am I going to have to save and then put new tires on. Thanks.

Yes, you could fit the 195/60-15 onto the wider wheels. The rim widths are wider than ideal for the tire size, though, but not by much.

Thanks, Just wondering, what would the ideal tire sizes be for the front and rear?
