I have the stock 15 x 8 rallye's with P255 60 R15 Goodyear Eagle GT's. They fit in all the stock places. Good handling tires, and good traction except for when the clutch is dumped ;).

Ralleys right now (255/60/15's)... but I'm going to do the TT2's as soon as I find a decent price....

I'm probably going to go 16x8 with a 4" backspace. From what I've seen they will fit flush and fill the wheel well. :yesnod:

Mine are flush..well a little short of flush. I am with Mike69...look for bigger rims for the better tire/rim combos now.
