195/50/15's on 15x7's, Pictures
Anyone have any pictures? I just bought some 195's for my 15x7's and am curious how they're going to look, I'm hoping the sidewall is fairly 'curved', and stiff. Because that's the look I'm going for.
Thanks,

i have that size tire on some enki's and they're plenty stiff due to the short sidewall. they're old and wore out and dirty due to being stored under the house. if u need any other views let me know. only thing i didn't like bout them is they allow the rim to stand out from the sidewall of the tire. probably just the way the tire itself is made.

I'm at work currently (or else I'd post from my photobucket), but if you search around the forums for pictures that I've put up, you can see what 205/50R15's look on a set of +7 offset Enkei 92's in that size.

195 on a 7'' wheel will be fairly vertical, not that stretched look you might want. I also like a slightly "stretched" tire for the geometry and less sidewall flex. I myself would have gone either 205 on a 7.5'' or 8'' wheel.

Its really going to depend on the tire to be honest. Each tire is going to seat differently on the wheel. Mine are Dunlop Dirrezza Z1 Sport Star Specs in 195/50/15. On a 15x7 +13 offset.
I have another set of 15x7s that have 195 50 15 yokohamas on them, they dont look stretched at all, where the star specs do.

Thanks a lot guys.
Yeah, I ended up going with General Exclaim UHP's. 195/50/15's and I'm mounting them on my Diamonds.
Will post pics when I mount them sunday.
Pretty pleased with what I'm seeing so far.

Twinkletoes, Would you post a few pics of the rear? Did you roll the fenders? I have 195s all around on a different car. The rear is lowered, and rubs the fender on one side. I loosened the suspension and then put the weight back on it and tightened it, but still is off to one side. I saw some 225s on CL and am tempted.

I've seen from a couple different guys that changing the springs in the rear will get rid of that lean to one side, i have the same issue, but haven't had the chance to put the springs on yet
