A 50 profile is WAY too short for a 15" wheel. A 60 profile may be about right. Why 15's?

My LS had stock 15s, I like the look of 15s also, I have 17in MOMOs on now but I just love how the Diamond Racing Wheels look

Here is a picture of 225/50r15s

There sick wheels but 15s are gonna be really bad.

unless you slam it on a 50 profile. any more tire it will look terrible. any less and you will have horrible wheel gap.

it might work. but id just do 16s at least

First off MikeyB I want to say your cobalt is drop dead gorgeous

I do plan on slamming it on some 50 profiles

this accord is on some 16x8s +13 and I love it

I also love this Civic

I feel like that slammed these wheels would really set off a cobalt

Make sure you take measurements for brake clearance. I ordered a set of 15x10's to run on a 92 MR2 with stock brakes. I had my back space correct and I completed the order form( no mention of caliper measurements), I even called and talked with them regarding the fitment. I received the wheels and test fit them before mounting and found out they hit the caliper. the center of the wheel is so wide it hits. the only way I could get it to work was to add a 3/4" spacer. I spoke to the owner of Diamond and explained my problem, his response was "you should have told me you had a clearance problem, try selling them and I'll make you another set". On a separate page on their web site they take about caliper clearance but it's not on the order form. I'm sorry but if you are a custom wheel manufacturer and you don't ask for this information who would think to supply it when the car is stock? In short they suck as a company and I would not recommend
