Hey, I'm looking to keep my car looking fairly factory, so I'd like to throw some 15X5.5 1995 Escort GT wheels on my '91 LX. I'm currently running on 175/70-13's (don't laugh :)), and I'm wondering what size tires I'd want if I got those GT wheels. I've had 205/50-15's recommended by another Escort owner, but I'd like some more porfessional advice so I don't throw off my speedo or rub the inner fenders too much.

195/50-15 would work better but, 205/50-15 isn't that far off (.4")

Alright, thanks :)

Any ideas on what tire type would be best for me? I rarely hit 100 MPH (or even 60 for that matter), but I love cornering and accelerating fast. I'm not looking to spend an enormous amount, but I'd like a good tire. The looks of the tread is fairly important as well. Thanks again.

The 195/50 would have a little less sidewall.. and 205 is kinda wide for a 5.5 inch wide rim IMO.
