+43?

 

225's on stock rims? I thought the biggest you could put on was 205's

 

i got 225's on 1.5" drop springs, they are close but dont rub. as far as your wheel offset they will probably rub a little on the inside at full steering lock. rear shouldnt be a problem as long as the car doesnt squat to much. i just run 205 in the rear.

No one said he was putting them on stock rims.

 

I had them on 16" +50 offset wheels. They rubbed the rear trailing arms, and front wheel wells at full lock.

 

225/40-16 will fit on a +50mm - i do not have any rubbing with mine in the last 3 years I have been using them - but it depends on the tire make.

I think +43 will rub on the fender on the rear.

225/40 are hard to find

you will have more tire selection in the 215/45 size - and even then selection is slim - all tire manufacturers are moving up in sizes these days.

It makes me think of buying 17's for the R just so I have more selection in street tires

 

225's in the rear ?

 

 

screw 225's and 235's... I wanna see 245's!

 

i was running 225s for a few weeks. Had to run 5mm spacers all the way around.

 

ok well i have 205 50 15's on my stock rims.... is that the biggest i can go, or can i go bigger?

 

I track with 225/45/15 Kumho V700's on +43 offset 7" wide Te37's and completely stock suspension.

They rub only slightly at full lock in the front on the plastic wheel well lining, no biggy. And they also rub slightly on the rear front of the LCA's, again no biggy.

Hoosier R3s03's are alot wider in the same size. When I ran them they also fit with the same offset but rubbed alot more and chewed up the inside of the tires, Kumhos I don't have the same issue with.

No, you could also run 225/45/15's on stock 6" wide wheels but it wouldn't be optimal for turn-in. But if you wanted to for stock class in autocross, it can be done.

Start your first few autocrosses on street tires. Learn the basics of car control and improve your times. Then after a few races and your times are consistant and you place better, consider if you are interested in R compounds, or if you think you'd be able to utilize them and how they'd fit into your budget and plans. Cuz they ain't a cheap prospect for something attached to wheels that you can't or shouldn't use on the street. Plus if you aren't really competitive it's a pain in the *** to swap tires all the time. It's much more fun to arrive and drive.

If you decide to go to with an autocross only wheel/tire setup, Azenis are actually a good choice for beginer to intermediate drivers. R compounds are for when you are more intermediate to advanced skill wise. For wheels, take a look for some used Kosei K1's. For tires, look for used Azenis or and definitely used R compounds Kumho V700's or Victoracers that are very easy to find in good/slightly used, to moderately used, to totally beat but ok for a few autocross's shape.

 

I am running 225-40-16 toyo T1-S's on my JDM ITR 16's with no rub at all. I had a hard time finding any relatively inexpensive tires in the 215-45-16.

Well I am not thinking about really becoming competitive with it, so I think I will take your advice and use the street tires and maybe throw on some azenis from time to time once I get some experience. I might eventually by a used set of kosei k1's but not until I can handle my car the way its supposed to be first.

Don't forget the 16 inch JDM wheels are 7 inch wide

 

so did we find out if 225s will fit in rear with a 7.5" tire?

They will fit - but you will have to have the fenders rolled - because you will need to run a low offset to clear the LCA

I assume that "fit" for you means on an unmodified car - then the answer for you is no

don't even bother with 7.5" rims
