Question tire size for kosei

i am wanting to buy the k1 from tire rack basclly for driving and racing/drifting on a few times a year.... they call for a 205/50 but was wondering if i could run a 215/60 or 225/50 tire?????? somthing along those lines that way i can wrap the tires and not have any curb rash either...?

15x7's that they sell? The 205/50 is closest to stock size overall, thats prolly why they reccomend it. Speedo will be accurate etc. You could squeeze those sizes onto those rims. If the backspacing is ok (which it should be) I dont see a problem other than you might have to roll the fender lips.

I think if you want 225 and 215 in front you'll have to roll the fenders....
