Get 195's unless you're getting 7" wide wheels...

WTF????

Plus Sizing is usually referred to when increasing the diameter of the wheel, not the width. SeoulJaGirl is plus sizing by going from stock what, 14" maybe 15", up to 17" wheels.

And how can you say that 205's on a 6.5 wheel are ruining it???

Here's a little info straight from the Yokohama AVS ES100 data sheet:

Tire Size: Measuring/Approved Wheel Width:
195/60/15 6.0/5.5-7.0
205/60/15 6.0/5.5-7.5
205/40/17 7.5/7.0-8.0

So for SeoulJaGirl thinking of getting 205/40/17, a 7.5 wheel is the best match for width.

And clearly you can see that a 205 and a 195 can be equivalently happy on a 6.5" wheel depending on the tire size.
