Default 205's??

OK Im about to purchase a set of Victor racers for my honda alloys (14x5) Can I fit a 215 or 205 on them without rubbing?

You want at least 6" wide rim, better yet 6.5 or 7 to run 205. It can be done, but it won't feel right.

So I should just stick with a 195 for right now, or get a larger rim.

Are you using these for autocross or HPDEs? If autocross, what car are you using and what class are you shooting for?

205's are beefy and more expensive than 195's.......stick with 195's

Autocross. I ran on azenis this year 195's. I am running DSP. (98 Civic EX) I might change to EM or SM next year though, if I can get enough for some boost.

For SP and Mod classes, I would suggest getting yourself a set of 15x7s and running 205/50-15 Victoracers.

BTW your stock wheels are 14x5.5, and a 205 should fit although it would be a tight squeeze. I would recommend sticking with a 195 with that size of wheel.

Just curious, what suspension work do you have done? You're planning on a supercharger?
