I wana keep my 15" but whats the best tire size for it? i know the stock tires are 205/55/15 but is there another tire size that makes it look like low profile but not? i wana comfortable ride, but also making my rims look clean.

Stocks are good, you can drop to 205/50-45/15. That will be lower profile. If you just get a good tire with sticky rubber and a strong sidewall, you'll be fine.
