I had 205/60/15's on my old 85T, thing handled like a freakin Lotus. I haven't gone back to them though, and I'm not quite sure why? Maybe this spring. They sort of hang out off the edge of the wheel, but man, did they make that car handle! And no, they DIDN'T make the car look stupid either. Now, had I gone with a higher profile, such as 205/70 or 75/15, that would make it look like an "SUV". The middle number is the profile. The "205" part is the width, and the last # is the wheel size. I bet some 205/50's on some aftermarket rims with a nice offset would really be impressive. Now I wonder if the SPG rims are different from regular 900 alloys in other ways than looks?
