What size tyres should I be getting to fit onto 15 x 6.5 +24?? I'm only goinbg to be getting second hand and they are going onto a ke70 with 10mm more track on the rear each side and standard fronts suspension for now.
Any help much appreciated :)

Probably get a 195/50(or 55)/15. That would be the most commonly available second hand tyre size for a 15" rim.

And do you think I will have any problems fitting them to the car? It is lowered but nothing extremely low.. Would 185's be too small?

195 will be fine, especially with those offsets.
I would go for a 195 because they will offer a bit more grip and they should be easier to find.
Only trouble you might have is the tyre not clearing the strut on the front. I think it would be fine, but it is hard to say.

as bustin has said 195/50 will be the go for 15's. 195 allow you to lower your car with out have to worry about constant scrubbing, Ive got 205/50, 205/60 and they rub like a mother fucker when people are in the back , this is at stock 4wd height

plenty of clearance, as i said to you matt, those offsets are aproching not so bad, as bustin said, 195/55-45
im using 195/50's atm, and i had 195/55's before, the lower profile has a big effect on clearance.

Your going to need 11.5 or 12 cm backspace maximum or you will hit the strut. May need some small spacers. I have 195/50/15s and they are great. But thats on a 6 inch rim.

Thanks for the replies guys, I just test fitted them onto another lowered rolla I have sitting here just to give me an idea. Rear was fine even with the 215/60's but as I was expecting the front hit the struts.
By what everyone is saying 195/55-45 should be fine then. To be honest I'm not looking for grip on the rear :)
AE71 - Do you have any issues with hitting the struts at all using those sizes? And what offset are you running?
I just don't want to get a set of 195's and find out they are going to hit the struts..
