Default Need Help with Tires

Just found out today a nail took quite a liking to the rear tire of 84 944 NA. It's a good time to change my 4 tires anyway

I am currently running a 215/60R15 front and rear set-up (= 129" sidewall height). The current tires make the car stand too high for my liking (see pic below).

I am thinking of going with this set-up when purchasing new tires:

* Front: 205/55R15 ( = 113" sidewall height) or
225/50R15 ( = 112.5" sidewall height)

* Rear: 225/50R15 ( = 112.5" sidewall height)

* Kumhos ECSTA 711 ($77) or Yokohama AVS ES100 (~ $51 to $61)

The question is....should I run 205s or 225s in the front? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

if you change the outside diameter of the tire your speedometer will be off...

I'm running the ES100s in 225/50/15 all arround. I've been VERY pleased with them. Great tyre!!
