can i get some feedback
on a stock 93 90s with 15 inch rims. how would 215/55/15 tires look on it and how would it affect the car. Will there be some rubbing, is it going to look goofy cause of the difference in tire size from a 65 to a 55. Im thinking of either 205/60/15 or 215/55/15 but I want some honest opinions and some pictures of any of 215/55/15 on a stock ride if possible.

There will be more gap...
the other issue is that because the tires are a smaller radius they will be spinning more times than the proper size tire would. This means that your speedo would be readig faster than you are actually going and would make your odo turn more miles with those tires than with the OE size tire.

Go to the tire calculator web page and put in your tire sizes to see what will be close.<ul><li><a href="http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html">http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html</a</li></ul>
