Anywhere in there should be fine. 205/50R15 is way too small, so is 215/50R15. Pick up some SVT wheels or stick with 205/55R16 as a minimum diameter size. You might find a 215 or 225 in 15", but they are pretty rare, so don't get your hopes up. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results

You could actually space them out about 5 or 10 MM per corner. Jim T. "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats".--H.L.
