Here are some 195/45/15's
Here are some 205/50/15's

Not sure what sizes you are looking for so post up some sizes you are looking for and that will help us to point you in the right direction.

Well if you want to keep your speedo and odometer accurate these are your tire choices in 15"

195/55x15" - this is OEM size
205/50x15" - this is a little shorter (by about 1/4") which will help overall gearing and throw your speedo and odometer off by about 1-2%. Not much.

Re: low profile tires for 15x6.5 wheels ????

aaahhh im being flocked by mods...its like standing in front of a bus full of sergeant majors. anyways i just measured the wheel from the insode lip to the other side of the inside lip and it measures 6" across. so i guess its 15x6. i cant find a damn marking on there to indicate the wheel size but i am guessing it15x6. am i measuring this right or do i need to measure from outside edge to outside edge. i am used to the speedometer being abit off cause of past experiences with 17's anyhow. i think the 205/50x15 would look nice.

Outside lip to outside lip. If you measured 15x6" on the inside lip then add on about 1/2-1" for the outside lip.

Re: low profile tires for 15x6.5 wheels ????

Re: low profile tires for 15x6.5 wheels ????

Yes 205 wide tires will fit on a 6" wide rim. Actually I"ve fit a 225 wide tire on my stock Si rims (15x6") for autocrossing.
