On stock S13 wheels, the widest you should go is 205/55-15. Anything wider will buldge and look like poo.

If the tire is for summer only, Falken RT-615 205/50 or 55 R16 (I dont remember if the 615 tire is made for 16's)

The 615 tires take on the Cooper concept, take a 225 tire and label it 205. I am very serious about that with the 615. We found out ourselves when we got our first set 2 years ago for Formula D. Those tires are wider than they are rated at.

If the tires are for all weather, I'd look up a 215/55 or 50 Falken FK-452 (again another "wider" than rated tire).

You guys know that you could run up to -4 camber and the 452 will still wear out evenly? Good technology.

I would also add the Dunlop Direzza in 205/50/15. It is a sweet tire has a little rim guard on it and a strong sidewall.
