Default What's Best 15 x 7 w/ 225's or 15 x 8's w/ 205's ?

In keeping with my pledge not to prematurely wear out my M Coupe at DE's I just recently purchased Don Culver's 95 Integra GSR to use as my dedicated track car at NASA events next season.

His car came with a set of 15 x 8 wheels and a set of 15 x 7's. He said the 15 x 8's could only be used with 205's.

Which is better in regards to track duty? 15 x 7 with 225/45 or 15 x 8 with 205's.

I was under the impression that 205's wouldn't even fit on an 8 inch rim but Don says they will.

His car comes with spacers (don't know but suspect they are 10 mm).

Regards,

Mike Berger

He says no 225's on the 8" wheels because of the fenders?

Todd00 I think ran 205 Azenis on 15x8's, and he loved 'em. They actually looked pretty square.
