im taking you want to see how it looks on the car.. give me another week i have a set of 205/60/15 coming in this week.. not on holies but i could mock them up.
I don't have a point of comparison with 16" or 17" wheels. My car is a non-S Cooper that originally came with OEM 15" wheels and 175/65-15 Continental EcoContact 3 tires. The original OEM setup had a slightly softer ride than my aftermarket 15x7 wheels with 205/55-15 tires.
Not holies, but these are 205/55-15 (Michelin Exalto PE2) on 15x7 SSRs. It would be interesting to see 205 tires on a 5.5" wide rim.
Yeah, those 205/55 looks a little fat already on your 15X7. I really think its best to go for 195/55/15 if you're staying with Holies. Having too much sidewall hanging on the side won't help performance much.
