SSR Compeitions are good choice for the R. Look good and are 7.5 inches wide and are about 10lbs. They are more expensive that other options, but are lighter and wider than most 15 inch wheels
Oh damn, thought 225/50/15 would fit. 205's are enough for traction?
It's funny, you guys make 16s sound so expensive... my daily driver is a Supra, try 18s. Last year we ran my friend's supra in a trial, 315s in the rear... one tire cost me enough to buy an entire set of 15s.
