215 or 225
Hi, I have a tire size dilemma. I am un-decided on whether to go with 215/55 or 225/50 on my 16x6.5 oem SE S14 wheels. I would like to have a bigger contact patch than stock specs. I am not sure if the width/wall will be too large on the 225/50. I have a friend who has the 16x6.5 with 225/50 that uses his car for Autocross, and they seem to hold up well. I saw a s14 with 215/55 today in a parking lot, and the tires looked pretty wide and had a good stance. Could any of you guys post advice, experience, pics of your tire setups with the 16x6.5 oem wheels?

Ride heights helps more contact patch.
You can have a wider tire but the contact patch maybe the same.
A wider tire and taller side wall will give you more understeer and body roll.

Dont mean to thread jack but Does any1 have a setup that they like for stock SE wheels? I'm not a rim person and don't plan on buyin rims unless they were NiSMO's.I bought an xtra rims from someone and they had a 235 tire on it. And it looked good. Does any1 know how a 235 in the rear might drive? I'm guessing even more understeer.
