colt45.5

Whats the largest tire someone in here has used on the factory itr wheel. As in width and sidewall percentage.

I was looking to not run into any rubbing issues. The car is lowered slightly on apexi n1 suspension.

the stock R came with 195s for a reason...

I dont see the problem with running 205x45x16 at all on them. Would you beg to differ and state your opinion why?

colt45.5

No dude. I dont have the jdm 16 inch wheels. I have the american itr wheels.

And i dont want to run a pizza cutter 195 reguardless of what the stock itr came with. period.

Yeah because some people have to drive the car year round even in the snow...

My friend runs 205/50/15 azenis on his type R and they are perfectly fine..I wouldnt go any wider than 205

Status Sean

so running 205s look good and handle good then?

BauleyCivic

yep

skip.two

a lot of people run 205's. they should handle nicely.

I was looking into the 205 50 15 azenis.

I think any wider and it would wear incorrectly, and loose handling?

Chris y0!

go to the ITR forum and ask people what they think of azenis on stock wheels...

205 azenis = 215 anything else and its too wide for a 6 inch rim. the sidewalls arn't anywhere near square.

like i said, honda put 195s on for a reason, because its the correct size.

i don't see what that has to do with a 195 vs. 205 argument...

I got from this that the widest tire you should run on an ITR is 195...did I read it wrong??

ITR guys are worse than the EG guys has far as false information goes

I run 205-55-14's on my 5.5 inch Miata wheels. Perfect setup if you ask me.

205-50-15 on the ITR wheels is a great setup. No one should be rocking skinny 195's....unless you're a 14 and want to run HX wheels....cause you have no other choice

Jesus christ. Everything turns into a debate on here.

Im getting 205 50 15 azenis. Its around a 210mm wide.

Ive seen plenty of people run 205 and 195

no you read it right. i wouldn't go bigger than 195 on a 6 inch wheel.

but those are R compounds right? right. anything that sticky will feel "perfect", even if its not the correct size for the rim.

just some quotes for you guys:

It's a little sluggish for my taste. Does not feel like the RE10 where I just point where I want to go, and it goes there. There is a little delay in the steering with the Azenis.</TD></TR></TABLE>

The vague or squirmy feel (on stock 15x6" rims) is the sidewalls flexing inwards and not being square true to the rim.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I wish you would of posted this the first time I had asked to back up your statement.

the azenis have a very agressive sidewall, ive never experienced the flex they do buy how would I know right... 195's are generally cheaper too.

BauleyCivic

problem is...smallest 15" azenis are 205's...thats why most people run the 205/50/15

137

then you should get a better tire for 10 bucks more a tire...

yokohama avs es 100
<FONT COLOR="red">195/50/15 61 dollars a tire.</FONT>


these are 205's please forgive me chris !!!

BauleyCivic

azenis =
avs es100 =

I have a friend that owned AVS, got azenis when the AVS wore down...azenis have 10x better dry traction...

And I have avs on my car now and I slide all over the place on turns...

137

better RAIN traction with avs100's and WAAAAAAY LESS NOISE!!!
tread wear on azenis is 200
yokohama is 300

azenis were ****** annoying!

you are prolly running 205's and are experiencing sidewall flex lol

keep in mind that a 205 azenis is like a 215 yokohama. a 205/50-15 avs-es100 will work a lot better on a 6 inch wheel than a 205/50-15 azenis.

137

lol NO ****!!! the azenis stuck out really godamn far... but they protected the lip of my ls mesh wheels plenty o times!!!

You guys think I could run 16x7.5 on an EK with a 5 lug conversion?
