    upgraded tires for oem wheels (15s)

    hi -

    i just bought some used 15" oem alloys from a 1992 ex-r owner (my car, up until now, had steelies) and need to purchase tires for them. his wheels actually have the stock rubber on them!

    i have found a good deal on kumho ecsta asx tires, but found that they only come in the 205/55/15 size.

    my question is: is 205/55/15 a reasonable size for the oem wheel?

    i know that i'd be reducing the sidewall height from about 117mm to 112-113mm, but i don't think that should be a huge problem.

    i've read all the appropriate info on this, but if anybody has any personal experience i'd like to hear of it...
