best for what?

bear in mind that once you start going over 195 you are looking for specialist front wheel arches (wings) - majority of "standard" ones cater for tyres up to 195 wide (hope that makes sense).

my std indy wings fit over my 215 tyres no problem.

195/50/15s are very popular and cheap - always have been thanks to Henry fitting them to his RS Turbo.

That really depends what you want to do with the car. If you want to throw it around the track from time to time with confidence, you'd be better off with smaller wheels. Personally, I think 17's look good on any LSIS but thats about it. They're not really practical. I'd go for 15's or even smaller.

thanks for the reply
I think I will go for 15s
I am going to the track as often my financial condition allow
and money wise the 17s are much more expensive when it comes to tyres
Thanks again!
