Default brakes tires

well here we go just looking for some input i have a 96 gsr that was once slammed on xxr 531 with type 1 coils i sold the wheels and raised it up a lil, its still low but not slammed sitting on my type 1s still with my stock blade wheels with 195/50/15 falkens, it has some negative camber and the stock wheels are sunk a lil, basically what i really want is to get a lil more beefy tires and get better offset to look better but still be kinda low but not slammed its my daily so i want to beable to drive it not total it, i also would like to beef up my brakes rotors pads and steel brake lines. i also have a progress technology sway which is the only sway bar that bolts directly to my coils where connect to my LCA but is kinda a pain in the *** to adjust whenever im adjusting my cars ride height. any help and input would be greatly appreciated

DR-21's with some BFG rivals gives a nice meaty tire look or some 16x8 rota slips with 225 Rivals again good offset(+35) but can still look aggressive.


here's my DR-21's with 205 rivals

Punctuation helps for reading more better.

Anyway, something with a 7" width and +35 to +40 offset will give you a more agressive look without needing to roll fenders.

205/50/15 tires or 215/45/16 tires will work well with that width.

If you use 15's, you can buy 225/45/15...but only in types of tires that are for track use.

Your blades are 15x6 +45.

How much room is there between the fender lip and wheel (side to side measurement)? Thats the size of spacer you need. Probably 25-30mm (1" +). Not a good idea.

Check, im sure you have camber kits front and rear. Also, for tires you can go with (195-55-15)..(205-50-15)..(225-45-15)..(225-50-15). Wait till you get the tires then get an alignment.

anything over 5mm will require extended studs which also requires new wheels bears when you punch out the old bearing/hub.

low offset like +10 or 0 will get you that stance look 15x8 +0 looks really good imo

He said he doesn't want to run (extra?) Neg. Camber. So...no 16x8 +10 or won't work.

I answered this question already, however. 7" wide wheel with about a +40 or +35 offset.
