I'm interested as well. I've seen 205 and it looked really good. I've heard of people going 215 but I don't think I've seen it

I have aftermarket wheels that are 13x7, so only an inch and a half wider than stock wheels. Got the 215/50/13 sumitomos on them. I'll have the link up soon. Sorry its not the stock wheels though.

Those look good but those are 7" wide aftermarket wheels while we are wondering how 215's fit on the stock 5.5" wheel.

I don't think I would run the 215s on the stock wheels. Just too much, 205 should be great.
