225 50 15 is the widest that will fit and has the closest rolling diameter. the stock tires (205 50 15) has a diameter of 24.7 inches where as the 225 50 15 is 23.8, so it will throw your speedometer off but not by much

so what are some good brands and more specifically models to look at??

dunlop sp sport 9000 or 8000 are pretty good tires. but are about 170 per tire

in 225/50/15 you can get falken ziex ze-512's for 54$ per tire, their ok tires, rated as ultra high performance all season, ive had a set and they stick well on the street, if you're going for more stickyness then you'll want something like the Falken Azenis RT-615 or Hankook Ventus RS-2 (great auto-x tires) but i dont see them in the 225/50/15 size, you can get Toyo RA-1's (R compound) in 225/50/15 for 128$ per tire, why would you pay 170$ per tire for dunlop sp's, they better have some kind of gold lining or something.
