wait...what? Nooooooo. That all depends on how low his car is. There are TONS of cats with 16" wheels on EF/EDs who have no issues at all with a 205/45 or 205/40.

And for the record, the 45 in 205/45 means 45% of the width of the tire. That's how tall the sidewall will be. 205/40 means 40% of the width so the sidewall is shorter.

40 no 195/45/15 yeah they make those I have tired to order a set before, but I ended up selling the rims.
If you are really looking for some 195/45/15 try http://www.onlinetires.com/user/vehi...allbrands.html

They are in Cerritos not far from you.

I never said it can't be done of 205/45 but you have to pull the fender atleast in the front

While we're on the tire discussion:

I've been looking for some decent all-terrains for my 15's but most that I'm finding come in Standard sizes (by inches tall and wide). Anybody know where I can find comparisons of the sizes?

Yes I rubbed.
No fender liner and I had to pull the fender tab up because the metal was cutting the tire
Lowered on KYB GR-2 and skunkworks coils (aka skunk2)

Depends on what you are lowered on if lowered if it will require some fender work
At most slight pull so you don't rub when turning

Forgot you have a 4 door
If it worked in the 4 door and I didn't have a red interior scheme already going, I would... Green is my favorite color, and actually thinking about doing a green scheme when I finally decide to start doing serious mods on my GLI once I get closer to having it payed off.

Nice Taco! I recently threw some different wheels on my Tundra, added Firestone bags on the rear and have a 2" leveling kit to throw on the front next week.

Thank you sir. I have some pretty serious plans for the CRX and I just don't have a need for the wheels. I have SE37's showing up tomorrow for the coupe and the regas just look too small on my coupe. I hope they'll sell soon.

Thanks, love the truck but gas mileage sucks (even when it was stock). Leveling kits are always a must on any truck, just get a metal type one, not a polyurethane or whatever..
