Really depends on how low you want to go with it, and how large you mind your turning radius being. Id definitely recommend getting at a minimum a set of 145s. I have a set of smarts (155/60/15) on mine with stock smoothies and drums, and I only rub at full lock. Discs will also widen the track a bit, too.

Good news is though, they make white walls (Coker and Diamond, I believe) in 145s.
