I dunno about 15's, there would be soooooo much space around the wheel, it'd kinda look funny, especially without the car lowered. Unless you're buying used, 17's would look 100X better, just like on that car pictured.

I just put 17s on my car after driving with 15s for the past 8 years. The 17s do look much nicer and they fill up that wheel well pretty well. The stock 240 (at least the S13) has way to much wheel gap however. It really does need to be lowered a bit still. But either way, the 17s are much smoother. Make sure you really want those 15s before you go there. I think we all pretty much agree on this one.
Good luck,
Matt

Don't do 15's for price because they are cheaper. they just look funny, especially with a low profile tire.

Seeing as a stock 95 SE has 16"ers with meaty tires, I think 15's wouldn't look right.
Go with 17"s or you'll be kicking yourself in the you know what the second you drive by an S14 with 17's and you see how much better it looks.

Yeah, I don't know who made the choice to put 15s on our cars but it just doesn't make any sense. I would have gone at least with a 16 for the stock 240. Oh well, not much we can do about that.
One thing is for sure, if you put low profile tires on this car without a drop, many times it'll look worse. My opinion is you have to go 17 or 18 with a good drop for the best look.
