I wanna know what size tires you're running.
Also if you're lowered or not.
Stock size is 205/60 and its super tall gay.
Show me pics and let me know what works!!

Here's my car on it's track wheels, 15x8 with a total offset of 29mm with spacers, 225/50/15 Hankook R comp tires. In most road racing classes that FC's run in (ITS and EP), 15x7 wheels are mandated.

205/60 15 in the rear... stock size and a 205/50 15 up front... I'm bored of 15's they're too small unless the car is slammed but with the 50's up front there is still alot of fender gap and the 60's do look a tad gay after a while... run 17's.

I run 225/50/15's (Falken Ziex512) on BBS Vert wheels(15x6-1/2")..they fill in the Wheel wheel fine.You will find if you run 60's that the car will have a bit of Sway,due to the High sidewall..If you go to 50 series,the handling gets Better..I am going to 17's eventually,so I can have Less Sidewall on the Tire,and more Tire on the road.That way the Car will be More stable when Yanking the Wheel from side to side.(like Slalom course or Avoidance driving).

I also agree that 17's look the best, but when it comes to track or autocross performance the 15's are better. Lighter weight for better handling, smaller diameter tires for lowering and better gearing and lower moment of inertia for better acceleration and braking. Cheaper too.

Need more pics to decide

I have the standard 205/60 R15 on my car. (Same as the red RX7 3 posts above) I also have a set of 205/65 R15 on white CSA 15" rims, the standard wheels feel and handle alot better
New wheels and tyres are expensive, and i dont really see the point the standard rims look fine, it will save on insurance and deter thieves.
