what tyres r u runnin with the 15x10s??
i dno why you would want to... they are 16x9 -15 on the front. so gaurds bigger than that gives you a good idea.

On such a light car where tyres like 215 - 235's just arent needed, wheels that wide for steering is overkill.
Remember most nissan drivers use 9/9.5 wide steerers on silvias with 215 tyres and they weigh considerably more than corolla's.....

Im not disagreeing with you that wider tyres are bad KonaKid, but just because a heavier car is using a wider tyre, that isnt an argument against using it on a lighter car.
Generally what stops people using a wider tyre for racing is class restrictions.
Drift of course brings up a whole heap of new arguments and opinions.
Theres a whole lot more to it than simply asking "what width tyres?". You need to take a whole pile of variables into account.
The responses on here indicate that whilst they fit, they may not be the best idea. That may well be true, however what exactly you plan on using it for, what tyres you intend to fit and how adjustable your suspension is needs to be taken into account at the bare minimum.
Many responses have said outright that 2XX width tyres are too wide. As long as you can work the tyres enough so that they heat up, it dosen't matter. To that end, as long as you can get heat into them, the wider the better.
If you ever intend on driving it in the rain, forget it. Get some cheesecutters or SLOW DOWN.
Can you adjust your suspension to make the most of the extra grip afforded to you by the tyres? If not, don't bother. I just recently spent $4k on a set of double adjustable Koni's and Eibach springs to make the most of my tyres and handling.
The weight of the car does come into it somewhat, but to say that you can only have a certain width for certain cars is not correct. I run 215/50R13's on my car, and it weighs 530kg (dry).
Take the whole package into consideration before making a decision. Shelling out for better wheels now may make your car worth _something_ in a couple of years time.
