Nope,(I think one guy was....) why would you run a smaller than stock height tire?

if you put a smaller tire on youll INCREASE the gap.

Those are 2" smaller than the stock SS tires! lol. You will have a massive wheel gap.

yea it would be nice to have a ss but I dont, and my car is lowered 2.5 in but I'm thinking of going lower, so I can get a better stance at the track, and the car comes stock with 15' steelies so I'm just trying to see my options are for tires, and a 205/50/15 is 1.1 in smaller than the stock 195/60. so I thought being one in short means I go faster right, or I'm i worng?

if you want a better stance at the track go wider, 205 is far to narrow of a tire. what is your current set up? perhaps we can help you get a better traction that way.

ok I order the 205/50 from tire rack and they give me a call today and said that the 205 didnt meet the weight requirements for my balt, so the salesmen recommend that I run a 225/50, so thats what I got, but thanks for the input guys I guess next time instead of making a new thread I'll call the tire experts first.
