    but wont the 15 be harder to spin ? eg wider wheel more tread more grip ?
    i was thinking 13 cause id run a 165 onthe 5.5" rim so straight edge maybe lil stretch wid say 40 psi cause i dnt really want grip i want it to be able to slide and spin lol.
    and i also noticed me 15 ar 6.5" im runiing 195 atmo with straight edge for front shouldd i go to a 185/50/15 ?

    if its a good tyre with a stiff side wall they should be fine on a 15x6.5 rim..

    you get more flex at the back due to the nature of how your using the tyre.

    trust me a 165 on a 5.5" rim is not going to be stretched. 175 on a 7" rim isnt what i would call stretched either, its more a tight/undersized..

    185/50R15 is prob a bit of an expensive size. just got the 195

    run 46 psi in the back and about 32 to 38 in the front depending on tyre used should slide fine.. just make sure the back suspension is hard or on the bump stops..

    cause people would laugh at you behind your back

    only time you should ever go bigger past 15 is to clear brakes. otherwise you have more unsprung mass, more expensive tyres, gayer looking rolerskate, fitment is so wack, center of gravity is way high etc.
