the only options really to go under the stock fenders are 8x22x15 or 24.5x8.5x15
and the 22's are shitty, they never really worked good for me even at 200 hp or so .
im going with the 24.5x8.5x15;s for this year, they will be tight, but they will fit. i got coilovers, so i can adjust accordingly

i measured the fenderwells on my car, dude 26's will never fit under those stock fneders.
even 24.5 will be tough, but will work
i dont think they make 25's though, its a really off size.
but the fender wheel from front to back in the fronts were like 24-24.5, anything more thna that will rub <-------> wise.
now the hieght wont be nbad if you have adjust susp and can jack the ride height up , but i tihnk that will be the only way , i might be wrong , but i from what i see i dont think anything mroe is possible unless the fenders are pulled out or tubbed or soemthing .


anyone have pics of their 24.5's on their tegs?
i think turbo R or someone has thme ,s ee if he can post a pic

the 25's don't come in a 15" rim size. he needs the 15's to clear his type r brakes. run the 24.5x9x15 if the 15's come in a 9" width. if not, run the 8's.

9's might be too wide?
but the civic fenders are a little more lipped out i guess is the best word i dunno something like that . . . . then the integra fenders.

M&H makes the ones you will need. , im gonna run those and the Bogart dragon fly;s or welds , didnt decide yet

the 9's should fit with little to no fender roll and coilovers.

Will a 9 inch wide slick fit on a 6.5 inch rim? I know an 8 will, but a 9 might be pushing it.......
Hey Ben, if you drive out here to the 'Burque I'll let you borrow my slicks to make a couple passes Woo hoo, gettin' ready for the weekend!

i think 9's are really pushing it on 6.5, i think even 8.5's arent good on a 6.5, its touchy, i wouldnt want to chance it taking it off the line hard and esp with 120 mph traps
well thats what im hoping for lol
