classis wrx, original rim size, tyre size etc!!
hi all. i have a MY94 classic wrx. i currently have the original 15" rims. the not so nice ones that have 5 spokes and look like a dark grey/bronze type coulour. hard to describe the colour really but i'm sure a few of you know what i mean. i currently have bridgestone POTENZA RE4ZOR (195/65R15) tyres. i have searched high and low over the net to find these tyres so i can show you what they look like but to no avail!! basically they are gravel/loose chipping rally tyres. now, the thing is, they sit about 6 inches if not more away from the rim, thus making it look like they are close to 17" wheels. i cannot knock these tyres in anyway whatsoever! once warm, these beauties stick to the road like glue! they are so soft and sticky that i can squash the tread together after a good drive. the thing is, it completely knocks my speedo out. i have been in the fast lane of the motorway and passing traffic whilst my speedo is only registering 60mph. 5th gear at 5000rpm, not a chance in hell! i have been given a set of 4 wheels, exactly the same as above. (not tyres) and i would like to know what the correct tyre size should be for these rims in order to have a 'correct' speedo reading. i understand that it will never be exact but as close as possible would be good. also any suggestions on 'brands' etc are very much welcomed. possibly looking to spray them a different colour if i can get tyre size etc sorted. so any suggestions on colour would be great. she's a silver classic. thanks people.

The number is the load index and the letter is the speed rating.
For 15's get 195/60/15, 16's 205/50/16, 17's 215/40/17 ans 18's 215/35/18.
