hey everyone i wanted to know how big of rims/tires does everyone have, do they rub? how low is the car? as far as my ef my tires are: 205-50-15 and on the front tires there is no more inside tread left (and its not cuz of camber wear) and i got about a 2.5-3 inch drop. and i would like to know a good size tire that wont get ate up when i turn

Brownjd

stock si wheels 185/60/14, no rub, 2.5 drop, but bad camber wear on inside

crx_88_si

195/50R15 on some 15X6.5 wheels with 38 offset
No rubbing but a lot on inside wear

TheSilentChamber

225's will either rub stuff inside the fender, or stick out alot depending on offset, and will rub top of the fenders depending on how big the rims are. Heh I tried to stick some spare 15" rims I had on mine that had 225/50/15's on them and they rubed everything and the fenders sat on top of them.

fireant

Camber wear can be GREATLY reduced if you get a good alignment that sets your toe to within a hunderedth of 0.

Camber in itself is not such a big issue (in fact front negative camber is desired for hard cornering like in autocross), but it concentrates the bad effects of toe in or out on a smaller area.

loid

i had the same problem when i had azenis 205/50/15....i had to raise it up a bit. now i have 195/50/15's lowered 2.5 and no rubbing but a nice camber wear.

efvader

2.50 drop with 15's and 195/50s no problems with rubbin.

hatchinprogress

yeah im thinkin if i go 195-50-15 and from what it sounds like i wont have that much of a prob with that size. on the tires i have now i cant even drive right now cuz everyone that see's the inside of the tire say's they will pop soon

The weird thing is that when i raised my car a bit, it tended to rub a bit more. Kinda odd, i guess my wheel fit inside the fender nicely when it was a tad lower.

ACRProject

195/50/15 on 15x6.6 +40 offset slipstreams. When my car was slammed my tires rubbed againt my fenders. Had to raise it up about half an inch to stop the rubbing.

wow.... great job on the hatch.

sicc83

I had 195/50-15s on 15x6.5" +40s, but they rubbed so I switched to 195/45-15s on 15x7" +40 wheels. I drive it with about a 4" overall drop with no rubbing issues.

hatchinprogress

4" that's low

FOUR-G

i have 205/40/16s, lowered...prolly around 3 inches, and i have no rubbing issues. camber is my friend.

but even when i had what i thought to be some positive camber in rear, i still had no rubbing.

turboZChatch

195/40/14 daily 2 inch drop no rub or camber


BY THE WAY I love that black hatch makes me miss mine ALOT but whatever I got a black rex now

japrex

yeah that black ef is sex candy.

jisu009

205/50/15 on 15x7" wheels with +40 offset. Lowered probably 2.5-3" all the way around.

I had to roll the rears. They were rubbing bad even with the 600lb springs I run back there.
