225/45/15 would be my choice.....there's also 275/35/15, if I could find a 10.5 inch rim.

At the time TD could only offer this wheel in as low as a +30mm with the 5x114.3 bolt pattern, I picked up the +35mm as the +30mm was in England and 2+ months out.

That's an old pic now that I see it... and tires are 225/45/15 these days, not 225/50/15

Top this, 15x9 +20mm offset custom (and I mean truly custom, as in built to my specs) Kodiaks. 225/50/15 Hankook Z211 R comp tires mounted on there now, but I've got a set of 225/45/15 Nitto NT-01 R comp tires that'll be going on once the Hankooks are dead. These are my track wheels, and testing has shown the 9" to be faster than an 8", which logically, would be faster than a 7".

Im so glad I saw this, till I can afford some fat as **** wide rims, I'm planning to paint the rims above I have (stock color) to a metal like gray/silver

Should look pure sex after seeing them painted a non stock color..

How do the tires look under the fender? Do they stick out at all?

No idea yet, the car's been at my parents house all winter. I'll post pics in a few weeks once I get back from Oregon Raceway.
