215 vs 205?

my boyfriend just put on 225 BF Goodrich G-Forces and they look freakin awesome. Bigger is better, even on a FWD car, and the tread on the BFG's looks so good! If it's just between the 205s and the 215s go w/ the 215s. I know that the '00 CSVT came stock w/ 215s, did the 98s come w/ 205s??
I'd go with the 215's.
Alot of people are probably going to recomend 225/50's like above. I have 225's on the car right now and hate them. They are a noticably bigger tire and don't look nearly as good as the stock tires and have alot more sidewall flex. Unless you absolutely need that tiny bit of extra rubber for drag racing, I'd personally avoid them.

i just bought a set of 215 bfg traction ta's so far so good when i bought the car it had 205's witch when i looked around were 20 bucks cheeper on average, but 215 came on the car and thats what svt reccamends so roll with it
i'd go with 205s since you live near the north pole. however, id go with whatever is cheaper.
i had traction t/a v's on it and they were toast after 15k miles.ugotbit03 said:
so i'm going with some yokohama rubber that have a longer tread life, overall better performance(minus winter).
the price difference between the 205 and 215 is 3 bones. The car understeers, and i'm wondering with slighly wider rubber in the front if it'll make major understeer into minor, or even balance it out.

225/45's can be fitted also.
