Well, im in the same boat you are and I have 205's with 15 inch rims. Those came with it once I bought it. How long have you had the car for? If you recently just got it I would give it a few more weeks and try to get used to manual steering, becuase when I bought mine it was b!tch too. But after while I got used to it. Anyway hope it helps, Peace

Exactly what he said. Its NEVER going to be easy with manual steering. You just have to get used to it. You can throw a set of skinnies on the front that are like 5 inches wide, but then you sacrafice stopping power and ride comfort. I run 215/70/14's on the front of my manual steering Nova, and it's not overly hard to turn.

I have driven a manual steering car and it is not that bad once you get used it. If it's unbearable i would look into a power steering kit.
