I have the stock se 7 spokes on one of my cars which is 15x6 from what i've seen and when i bought it they were wrapped with shitty some brand i have never heard of 205/60/15 all season goodness. Last night my friend hit a curb with the right front wheel and popped a hole in the front right tire which, as he puts it "looks like a sagging vagina", so I am taking this opportunity to get 4 new tires and an alignment. From the calculators I have seen floating around the internet the se rims can run 225/50/15 at max. Is this a safe or stupid tire choice, i know next to nothing about tire selection and am looking for some infos. These tires will primarily be used for learning and i have decided to go with some bf goodrich g-force sport's.

Itll look like beach balls but it should fit. The only thing is 50 series on 15s are kinda short. Try atleast 225/55 15s if you can find them.
