60-1teg

I was wondering if anyone had ran 225/50/15 on a eg hatch with eibach pro springs. I think the spring drop is 1.2 all the way around it looks like it will work but the ride height is a litte taller like the 205/50/15 ride height is 23.07" and the 225/50/15 ride heght is like 23.87". The car is a street car with a built b18c1 with t3/to4e turbo will be running about 300whp. I would like to get as much tire to the ground as I can. Does anyone have pics of the 225/50/15 on a eg I have searched and find anyting on the subject. Any input will be helpfull THANKS>>>>>

i ran 225/50/15's on an ek with the pro-kit & a b-series. they rubbed on top and on the inside at full steering lock. these were hoosier R3S03's and were wider than most 225's.

i now run 215/50/15 for the street with the integra sportlines. these BARELY rub at full lock and don't rub on top unless i hit the bumpstops. the tires are kumho ecsta 711's and are $43/ea last time i checked!

material can be removed at the top of the fender where it meets the body to keep from rubbing on the top of the tire. with that done i think 225/50's on the street would be no problem. this is all for an EK hatch though, so i dont know if it will help. however the 215's are more likely to work and are definately good for the money.

hth!

The only problem with the 215/50/15 is tire selection is very small. 205/50/15 is out of the question not wide enuff.
Come on eg guys where are you at pics please really need help!!!!

15x7's. i think 225's are the most you could fit on a 7" wheel. 235's might work, but who makes them?


sorry for the late reply(spring break).

i hope it doesn't rain or snow where you live if you plan on running that wide of a tire size on the streets. last year i ran 205/50/15's during the spring and summer and when it rained i had problems with hydroplanning.

anyway, the largest 15" tire size i was able to fit on to my eg hatch were 215/50/15's which only rubbed when doing a full turn and when i hit bumpstops and ditches.
