What tyre size should I use on 5.5' without the tyre bulging out? I think 195, what about 205? Anyone has pics they can post for 5.5' rims with 195/55/15 or 205/55/15? 60 profile will do too
Cheers

Pics below are of 205/65/15 on the front and 205/70/15 on the rear. They are the limit of width on a 5.5" I think without being impratical. 205 in a 55 profile might bulge a little too much (maybe?) but 60's would be good.
