Default I Need Help On My Wheels & Tires ~~ PLZ

I just picked up a set of rims yesterday, the wheel size is 15 x 7.5 with +35 offset, I want to get a set of tires which the wall on the tire will look straight to the wheel, I don't really like the round looking type. I was thinking of 215/50/15. Anyone can give me some advise.

if you don't want the wheel to be stretched, 215 will be fine. i'm not 100% sure but for the wheel to be perfect you'd need a 225, but that's overkill on an xa/xb. you don't need anything wider than 215 anyways. 205 is actually ideal unless you like the look of a big fat tire (which i do).

205/55/15, works and looks great. I had 215/55/15 prior to these, it looked great as well buy It did look a bit rounded. You have a wider rim now that stock so it will stretch a smaller tire, maybe go with 55 series tires to compensate. you are going from 60 to 50 series tires and getting wider wheels. you will more than likely make more fender gap than you like, and for sure more than you now have.
