Tire size problem on 93 Hatch
Ok im hoping I can get some help tonight seeing as im going to go buy some tires tomorrow. I am putting tires on some LS mesh wheels, I tryed them on my car tonight with the current tires and they rub in the back they are 205/50/15s .........I know people run this size on H/Bs and I havent heard any one say they rub. Do you roll the inner fender lip or what? since they rub proably going with 195/55/15. Im sure part of it is that my car is droped but I just havent heard any one say 205s rubbed bad
heres my hatch:
BTW right now rolling on some 185/60/14s

Re: Tire size problem on 93 Hatch (=Gameover=)
no frame isnt tweaked for one the car is mint and 2 it would rub on one side and not the other. I will try to lift the car some I guess, I have H&R coilovers but the spaner wrench is long gone any thing else work good to adjust coilovers with ?

doesnt rub at all but i have like 1inch wheel gap
dont forget to take your car to an alignment shop
since you are raising your car and new rims

205 / 50 / 15
width/height/size of rim
195/55/15 would be a thinner, taller tire. If you like your ride highth, try a 195/50/15 tire, thats what i ran on my 95 gsr teg with a 2-2.25 drop on h&r's, and thats whats on my hatch right now. Thats my$.02, hope it helps

No, it goes width/aspect ratio/size of wheel... its not like 50 mms or something it goes with the width of the tire..

Re: (tihul)
the 50 represents the profile of the tire, you know, how high the sidewall is.
If what you said means that then i agree with you

205/50/15 = sidewall height of 102.5mm
195/55/15 = sidewall height of 107.25mm
195/50/15 = sidewall height of 97.5mm
I think thats right...hope that helps

Re: (ssbpturbohatch)
As a one-time tire salesman, allow me to educate you all:
205/55 YR16 is an example of a tire size and speed threshold designation.
205 is the tread width in mm.
The 55 is the percent of 205mm the sidewall subtends (55% of 205mm = 112.75mm).
Y is the speed designation, Y being the highest non-race designation I've ever seen.
R16 tells you that it fits a rim with diameter 16 inches.

well I raised the car up maybe 1/8th inch and also rolled the inner lip on the rear fenders a tad and every things all good on some 195/55/15s. Thanks for the help

You could have set the camber in -1 to -2 and been alright.
I have huge *** azenis on my civic. Largest they make in 16. At 0 camber the rear rubbed big time. At -1.5 they don't rub at all. Of course I don't roll as low as the rest of you.
