Finally got my new wheels/tires installed on The Rage. Firstly, I imported a set of 15x5 (+45) 5Zigen Pro Racer GN+ wheesl from Japan. They're a kei car fitment, so they don't poke out much more than stock. Next, I wrapped them in 175/55/15 Nankang AS-1 rubber.
FYI, I'm lowered on Eibach Pro Kits and have a Doax rear sway bar, too. So far, I'm been very happy with these tires. Comfortable, quiet ride, better handling than the 165s, and the grip is great for a street setup.
