20 mm difference in width, and the 215 is about 12 mm (1/2 inch) taller.

Heh, speaking about rims and tires, I've got a set of studded winter tires waiting for me when I get back to Finland with my GTA, they're 215/60/15

You think that might be a bit narrow? It was the only tires he had really that would fit and that he could get in time, and wintertires shouldn't be wide either, but you think it'll look bad on a GTA?

save up for a few weeks or so and get some meats for it, it will look better and perform like ti should, 195 is a honda tire, and uhh quite frankly, thats something u dont want, it will not preform as it sould.
