If the hx rims are 6in wide i wouldn't put anything bigger then a 195 on them. My .02.

ya i hear that, however my friend told me another friend of ours has 205/50 nitto 555r's on hx rims and i forgot what it looked like for 205's on 6 in rims.

i'd think they'd be too wide, and would stick outside of the rim lip, and would suck for cornering because of too much tire, but who knows.

Dude, why don't you ever listen. I told you that he had 205/40/14's Nitto 555R's on his HX's. Go look for yourself.

Yeah, I have 205/50 555R's on my HX's too. They fit really well and give you quite a bit more contact patch.

195 series is a better tire for these wheels. I'm not going to argue over this, do what you want.

HX rims are cool but not good for 1. brake clearence if you ever plan on upgrading, 2. tire selection. Bout the best tire for that is a 185/60/14 Yoko AVS intermediate.

My friend runs his HX's on Azenis' - the only size availbe in 14" from them, he seems fine with and likes the setup. Also I think SkyeC also ran this setup, but i dont know size tires he was using - PM him i guess.
