some are running 18's (very few) some are running 17's, 16's (me) 15's 14's. Do you have a specific size of tire that you want to run?

**** the 205 60 13

I used to run them on the back,Right nowas of 3 weeks Ago,I just put some 215/50/13 on stock wheels till my old American Racing "Libre" get polished out.

(Pilones) then 215/50/13 will go on some 13x7 wheels

205-60-14

205 = width of tire in milimeters (25.4mm per inch)

60 = sidewall height in percentage of width, IE 60% of 205mm, so a 225-60 will be taller then a 205-60,

14 = diameter of wheel in inches

well u could always install a widebody kit like my FB and have rear tires that are 275/50/15 and fronts that are 245/50/15 but thats a little extreme and a lot of work for wider tires..... but i figured id throw that out there...
