so got a set of the old alpina style 13inch rims when i got the car. sandblasted and painted them and now am looking to mount some decent tires on them. i think there 5.5x13. i want to run 205's in back and possibly up front but am worried about rubbing issues. eventually am gonna install lowering springs. i know everbody is gonna say get 15's but im trying to keep this low buck. anyway whats everbody runnin. thanks

They are most likely just the stock Turbine wheels.

You can run

205/60/13 Sumitomo tires

or the stock size 195/70/13

Thanks for the compliment. 205's on front, with stock wheels will be good to go.

I had 195/70 when i had the stock tires worked well even when the car was lowered, but you get a lot of tire play with those walls.
