What size on my Holeys???

I have decided that after a few years of trusted service that the Kumho ASX tire will be purchased again. After running street race rubber (Flaken and Hankook) and other all seasons, I think that this Kumho tire is a happy medium between the two. All while providing year round traction and comfort. So, I will be mounting these to the Holeys in the next couple of months. I currently run a 195/55/15 and they seemed to work fine. However, I could run the 205/50/15 for the same money and I figured that this fitment might look a bit more aggressive and be more performance oriented. Does anyone have feedback on running the 205/50/15 on the stock 15 inch rims? If they fit and work well, then I am going to give it a shot. What do I have to lose?

The nice thing about the 205-50-15 size it will protect your rims - tire will hit any curb before the wheel does. I had them on hollies at one time and they look great.

Hmmm...good point...maybe the 205/50/15 is the way to go!

Does anyone have pictures of their Holeys with 205/50/15 mounted on them? If so, if you could share those on this thread that would be great!
