Default 205/60/14 on 14x5.5 rims

Falken 512 has some...I was wondering how good they are ? I've heard that they'll fit on 5.5 rims, but is that a fact or a myth ? Anyone has some? Rubbing problem ? How you like the tire overall ? (For street use..)

Thanks in advance ...*i've searched...not satisfied of results*

I have a set of 14" wheels with 205mm width tires on them, exactly the same specs of 205/60/14. There are no issues with it. You should know however, that the rolling diameter will be larger than the standard size for a Civic or Integra. Using a 205/60/14 tire also gives the wheel a very bubbly look, if that matters to you.

Yeah, they will fit. Keep in mind that 92-95 wheel wells are smaller than 96-00, so if you're lowered more than an inch, you will probably rub. Hope you like the 4x4 look.

I run 205/55-15s on a 99, and the speedo shows about 2% lower speed than what i'm actually going.

Oh yeah, if I remember correctly, those tires are very heavy.

Thanks for the comments guys. I may stick to OEM size then...Much disavantage for a guy that just wanted sticky and wide tires Anyway it's for street use, no point getting too wide rubbers...

thanks !
