Why, out of curiosity, would you want to do this?

you can put what ever size you want to on there, like say a 195/45/15, or something along that line. I used to run a 195/50 on mine a while back.

to do what you are wanting, I would try and find something in the 185/40, or 185/45 range.

If you're bagging on the stockies, just pull out the fender liners, then you don't have to worry about looking goofy with an undersized tire.

that will help in the front yes, but does not solve the prob in the back.

it would only look goofy on just a lowered car or a stock height car. if you do the right setup no matter what tires you run you will be tucking them, there for eliminating the goofy factor.

True, but anything less than say a 50 series isn't going to fill the wheel well side to side. I dunno, I have a 50 series on my 15s and it just doesn't look as good as the 60. Granted, I'm only on DF210s, but still.

the wheel gap on the sides is a valid point, I will give you that one.

yea the stock wheels wont stay on the car very often. i have some 18's on there now. i will use thoes for the most part. but i know i will not get any sparky sparky coming from my car going down the road. so im just looking for a cheep way to do that. i saw one of the articles about painting your steelies and i thought that actually looked nice so i thought id do that whenever i wanted to makes the sparks fly.

What size are your stock rims? That would determine the smallest size you could run. I am only asking because my stock wheels are 19 inch, but I know that you could get 18, 17, and 15.
