What are the options for fitting the Kumho MX
on stock Cooper wheels (15 x 5.5; or 16 x 6.5) ?

205-50-15 should work.
Any other options ?

Works with 15x5.5 rim for sure but the rim itself is a bit narrow.
15x6.5 or 15x7 would fit/perform better.

From tirerack.com specs on Kumho Ecsta MX
205/50WR15 86W rating 220 AA A 51psi 9/32nds rim widths 5.5-7.5" best fit 6.5" wheel diam 23.1"
>>Any other options ?
Use different tires like Falken Azenis Sport or Yokohama ES100.
Use aftermarket rims that fit the wider tires better. Like 15x7 or 16x7
Depends if this is for street only or for autocross and track use.

I'm specifically looking for a way to try out the MX.

I already have Yokos, Kumho v700 Victoracers,
Ecstas, v710 (on backorder after recall), and Azenis.
I'd like to tey out the MX in a stock legal (for SCCA autox)
size.
