Yes you can fit those on your Heliums. You can go with 205/55 R15 but I opted for 50 as well. I am putting these same tires on a 15X7 wheel.

How do you like the Azenis 615's? I'm thinking about getting these myself, but on 16 in rims.

Oops I lied. This is what is coming to me.

Falken Ziex Ze 512


I like the reviews and the price, I needed good tires for a daily driver. My bad.

A big difference... but ziex 512s are a good bang for the buck!

i have those ziex 512 they are loud as hell after 10K, when it's brand new it's fine........ after worn out a bit, starting to get tire noise around 70~80km/h, and it gets louder and louder......... to a point i hate those tires now.

I been tellin ppl they are not good tires, but they don't believe me "DER REIFEN NAZI"

and to TheCutsman 205/50R15 are fine, a little bit smaller than stock diameter so your speedo will be off a bit and you are going to rack up more miles on your dash than actual... but Azenis are not that bad of a tire, good middle of the road yire

Please try to calculate your rims, matching to 15x6.5 Konig Heliums following URL below:
http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp?postId=906

From my opinion and to be used falken, azenis st 115 is the best one.
Normally for the silent or comfort sport tyre like a zixe or azenis family.
You can feel the stability about handling, conversly the wearing out is too fast causes of the traction rate is around 300 for azenis and 360 for zixe.
It's reason of noisy is too lound.

The traction rate you are talking about is called the UTQG (Universal Tire Quality Grade)and unfortionalty it is not Univeral, it is set by the manifacture of the tire and are no real strict guide lines for these grades

I have 512's and they're ok for daily driving. 215 x 40 x 17's. I got them for all the rain we get here. But now that the weather is getting better and I'm looking for an extra set of rims and tires, I'm thinking about 215 x 45 x 16's on some light rims. Thats about the smallest I can go for them to fit on my brakes.
