I recently picked up some old school TSW hockenheim alloys that I want to fit to my gt turbo. The car is currently running standard alloys. The car is lowered 35mm at the front and a turn or two at the back. It sits nicely on the 13 inch alloys.

What size tyres will I need on the new 15 inch hockenheims? I want the same look and no rubbing problems. What size tyres do you guys use with 15 inch wheels? I was thinking something like 195/50/15?

195/45/15 this will wheel keep to the same rolling diameter of the original alloys.
