205/60 is common/easy. 225/50s are out there, so are 205/55.

ok well I looked at a tire size comparison chart, and the 205/55/15 is the same size as 225/50/15 but the 225 is wider right? but will a 225/50 fit a 15x6 rim?

This is relevant but not to his tire size. I'm gonna be ordering BFGoodrich KDW G-Force and they don't have 215/45/R18. But they have 225/45/R18. It will fit our stock rims but is just a little wider than the stock ones, right??

^ you sould be find doing that, its just that a 225/50 is 9in wide and I'm trying to put it on a 6in wheel, but you would be fine maybe even going with 235/ 40/ 18, fat n nasty!

you got 15x6's? 225 will be a little big, not outrageous, but the 205 would definitely fit better.
