the 175-55-15 is a real cool choice if you plan on being really low as far as the red-lines go you will have to find a tire shop that can vulcanize them for you you wont find any off the shelf low-pro w/ a red line...

isn't a 55 a wide tire

175 is the width in mm which = roughly 6.89" the 55 is the aspect ratio which is the % of the width that makes the sidewall height you add in the rim diameter and oila you have a tire that is damn close to 22.58" tall an 6.89" wide which is smaller but wider than the common 135R15
