GSR Blades Specs Request.
Just trying to find out a bit more about the GSR Blades:
1) 15" or 16" Diameter?
2) 5.5" or 6" Wide?
3) Weight in lbs?
4) Recommended Tire Size?
TIA.

Re: GSR Blades Specs Request.
195/50/15 is a horrible size.
What is the point of running a lower side wall yet keeping the tire the same width. Not to mention it also throws off the speedometer quite a bit.
An ideal size to upgrade to would be 205/50/15, and it will not throw off the speedo either. You get a wider tire, lower profile sidewalls, and looks way way better.

WRONG. They are 15x6.
The recommended tire size depends on what car they're mounted on. On an Integra, 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 are best, as noted above. If you put them on a CRX, del sol, or '95 or older Civic, then 195/50-15 is best.

I have 195/55's on there now and I hate them. They scraped the fenderwell seam on driveway slopes before I banged/flattened the seam to get it out of the way. My 195/50's never scraped or rubbed, ever. And I'm on stock GS-R springs with Koni shocks set to the lowest perch height. You wouldn't think there would be any clearance problems with 195/55 tires but there was.
It's personal preference really. Weigh the pros and cons of each and decide what you want to use.

Re: GSR Blades Specs Request.
heh thanks, if only it still looked that good
hard to believe that pic is from 6 years ago, when the paint was minty fresh.
I dunno if it's just my 195/55 tires or what but they look friggen huge

195/50/15
195/55/15
205/50/15
Yeah 195/55/15 is huge. I had those before and I took off chunks of my tires.. 205/50/15 is good, but I still rub when I take corners or hit a bump. 195/50/15 is perfect, no rubbing or anything at all. (This is only true if you're tucking tire.)
