Default Anyone running a -1 on wheel size?

Hate the excessive weight that the stock wheels weigh and I have some Borbet T's in 15x7 for winter snows and Kosei K1's in 15x8 that I am using as daily kick abouts.

Wondering what tire size I should use to take advantage of the tires. I am just running the old full depth tread of my old RA1's that I had kicking about from my 332i street car.

something in a 225 or 245 with a 55/60 sidewall.

Which will probably be tough to find in a near stock diameter in a max performance tire though.

A 235-50-15 and the 225-55-15 are perfect fit. While a 225-50-15 is a bit small but not by much at 2.4% smaller.

Might try the Falken's or the Toyo's out.

Anyone actually make a tire in that size? The 225/50 is quite common.
