I have a EG with the 00 Si Rims and H & R Sport springs. I got some Kumho Ecstas in 195/55/15 because that was the size of the stock Michelin tires. It turns out they rub a lot on the plastic part on the inside of my fenders when i take semi fast turns(bugs the hell out of me). I'm sure 45s will be fine but if I get 50s will they still rub? What tires do you suggest?

don't get the 45s go with the 195/50/15 tires. That's what i run on my car, next tire change i'm going to 205/50/15 tires.

what kind of springs do you have, do your tires rub?

VTEC

195/50-15 maintains a rolling diameter that's close to stock. This means your speedometer shoudn't be that off, and if you have ABS, your car won't prematurely lock up, especially in the wet.

Also, 205/50-15 has a rolling diameter close to 195/55-15 that they're practically the same. If you rub with 195/55, you'll rub with 205/50.

I have neuspeed race springs and neuspeed koni yellows and no my tires never rub.
Here is my car. As you can see it's fairly low and no rubbing with these tires. My Wheel offset is 45.

I have some '00 Si wheels also with the stock 195/55 michelins on them.
If I were to switch to a 195/50 tire later when I need new tires, then that will make them smaller in diameter right? Wouldn't this put more miles on your car and more wear? Or is the difference not that big of a difference?

Thanks for input
