11psiTurboSI

I'm going to be purchasing (2) BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial for the track. I'll be mounting them on my oem 2000 Honda Civic SI wheels 15x6.5. I was thinking of going to 225/50/15, because there only $5 more a tire on TireRack. But I'm worried that I'm going to rub the **** out of my fenders. What's your guys experience with running 225/50/15 vs 205/50/15.

Thanks in advance.

I have an eg with 225/50/15 an it only rubed because it was too low, i reised the car about 1/2" and problem is gone, well unless i have one of my fat basterd friends in the car.J/K . But yeah you shouldn't have a problem.

225's on an EG over here and no rubbing unless I slam on the brakes while hitting a bump lol.

225 won't be too big for a SI wheel 15x6.5? Do you guys have a pic?

I have used the 225/50/15 on black steel rims on both my integra and my crx and they worked great... got about a 1.9 60 ft which is about what you can expect from a street radial.

I have the 225/50 rubs on a lowered car with suspension soft and air out the tire.

i plan on running 225's soon heres what they look like on a teg



this is not my car mine is almost exactly the same tho'.

my 225's don't rub at all with the stock ITR suspension. I am goin to 235's this year and I think until you get to those stock height will be fine

How long do they last with typically street driving/racing?

I got about 6k miles on them and I took 6 passes at the track with a few races on the weekend and daily driving. Although they wear out fast they lasted me the whole summer season which is nice. Traction BTW is unbelievable compared to regular street tires . I notice a little rubbing in hard corners or full lock to lock turning

Business in the front party in the back

225/50 15 setups are pretty common. Don't have to roll the fenders. 60 foots usually range from 2.0 to 1.9 (which also depends on driver ability)

What wheel WIDTH and offset are you 225 guys using?

mgro

Tyre: Toyo Proxes R888, 225-45-16
Rims: OZ Superturismo 7.5Jx16, 37mm offset
Car: EG6, stock front suspension
grip: phenomenal (dry)

Rubbing: virtually none, only when I see the speed bumps too late :-)

225's here. Awesome grip, even on 17" wheels. Probably ~1" drop. I only rub on very hard turns.

I ran the Bfg's before 255x50-15, loved them!

urbansi

they are a great tire, great traction on my 17's

Can you run those without messing with the fender on a lowered car or is 225 the maximum?

Mohsin

Im slightly confused, Max width for 7.5" width is 215?

No you can go over. The smallest for 225 is 6" and for 215 I believe is 5.5", but we don't have smaller then 6" anyway.

I ran them fine. My car was lowered with coilovers.

I never liked the real slammed look, but it was lowered and was fine for me...

What about the new size 235/60/15 anyone use them yet.

anyone ever ran 225/50/15 or 225/60/15 on an EF ? wonder if they'd rub
