Holy crap... I'm running 205/60's in the rear and thought those were bad. Good luck fitting those in the front, they'd most likely rub, if move at all. Rear's would fit, but it wouldn't be pretty.

Yes, they will fit......................on the wheel! Don't know about clearance, especially in the front when the suspension cycles and when you turn..............or try to turn!
Then you can go mudding with the rest of the 4x4's!
Stick with the OEM size!
Check this site out to figure out sizes for what will fit your wheel.
http://www.rims-n-tires.com/info_specs.jsp
According to its calculations(based on the 195/60R15 tire):
You will be about 2.7" too tall(so you're lifting your car 1.35".........most guys lower their car that much)
0.4" closer to the suspension
0.4" closer to the fender and you will be going about 11% faster than what your speedo says(if speedo says 60mph, you're actually going 66.6mph)!
Hope this helps!

Basically, I want to know what is the max/min width and aspect ratio of tires that fit onto S13 stock rims.
I want to buy cheap used tires for drifting.

why would you want wider tires if you're just looking for cheap drift tires? stick to 195/60s or 205/60s. they'll be cheaper and easier to find.

I wouldnt rock 70 series 215s...that would be horrendus...
The flex in the tires would be astronomical.

Yes, do this. Best size tire for 15s that are 7 inches wide or less.

although it may be cheaper, if your using a bigger tire you are going to having a harder time sliding and you are going to need to rev higher. that is considering you have a stock ka.
it also depends how low your car is, those specs are considering your car is stock height and the car is sitting, not sliding. you are going to have body roll when you slide (depends on your suspension) so with that tire size im sure your going to be rubbing on ish

DO NOT run 70 series sidewalls on a 240, especially for drifting. That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
I throw away used 60-65 series all day because i would not even think of running them on my car.
