I didn't put a tire this size on my car, I stuck with the stock 215s.
thanks to Greg with Redshift motorsports for this information.
it should be mentioned that by correct size wheel you dont mean just a wider wheel but also one with the correct offset so that no rubbing will occur

good choice sticking with the 215, i wouldnt have gone any larger than 225 unless changing suspension components and wheels, and you would lose mpg and add road noise even doing that

what kind of tires and how are you liking them?
i think there are a few si owners on here looking for new tires soon so a little review im sure would be loved
