Get a camber correction kit and raise it up some. I think you will have problems out of any tire you put on it with that set up.

Thats a suspension setup problem, camber wear is the sign right there. Toe is probably off.
Tire choice should be done based on what you want out of it, and the kind of driving and weather you encounter. But:

What kind of lug nuts are these? Look like skunk2.
I'll be happy when my RSZ R's get here. I wont be able to put them on until spring though(sucks). Man I miss Florida.

Nice picture. It gives me an idea of what these are going to look like on my car, but with a bunch more fender gap.

You can get the ES100 in the stock size, 195/55-15. You're better off with that; among other things, your odometer and speedometer will be accurate, instead of reading higher than actual.

Good to see an R being used for its intended purpose. 
Also good to see all of Honda's millons of dollars of suspension R&D rendered moot.
Never understood the need for megadollar roadrace wheels that only see street use.

Personally I dont think its very intelligent to roadrace on a wheel that is discontinued, if you bend break or otherwise damage one you're out an entire set of expensive wheels, you got the trend backwards. Usually people use cheap easy to aquire wheels to do any form of racing or HPDEs.

Sure. The range of approved rim widths is 5.5-7.0 inches, according to Yokohama's specs.
How do you know how wide his wheels are? Are they 7", Kwan?

Re: Which Tires look good RSZ R... (nsxtasy)
I wouldn't go 195/50 on a DC just for the reasons that they a) tiny, b) look tiny in the wheel wells, c) have rubber band sidewalls compared to 205/50s, d) 205 azenis kick ***, and e) most of the 195/50s out there don't have a load rating suitable for the DC chassis.
And yeah, maybe if you raised your car, got an alignment, or got a camber correction kit in the front, you wouldn't have camber "problems."

jdmitr02: Just raise the car up a bit and stick w/ Azenis

Can always sell the good ones on hear or maybe find one if somebody jacked one up, and went to something different. Might have to wait a while though.
