Would 215/50/15 work well on the stock 7 inch rim? I know it is only a slight difference from what is stock, but I want a little more aggressive look. I know it will fit the rim, but im worried about steering response (tiny bit shorter sidewalls, but wider footprint.)
and.. they're like 10 bucks cheaper each  kumho ecsta 711's are what im lookin at gettin btw... --------------------  |

I had 225 50 16's on 8" wide, but now I am at 205 40 17.. The tires are fine, but when they are gone I am getting 225's back again.. and a higher profile.. like 45.. So, like Magic and Lagos said.
