is this possible on a 16x7 rim? i was gonna order this but the guys said it wasn't possible for the 5th gen preludes, he said i would rub like crazy. does he know what he's talking about?

 

Assuming that you have a 5G Prelude, the stock size is 205-50-16. I personally recommend that size. You can also go to a 215-45-16 setup and use the Azenis.

 

i just bought some rota slipstreams and wanted the tallest sidewall i can get and i know 225 is max on a 7in wide rim. but i am not too sure if a 55 is too tall.

 

For what purpose do you want a tall sidewall?

 

more sidewall flex for traction because i just bought a built block and a new turbo kit and plan on making atleast 375whp. i have a hard time with traction right now and i only make about 270-280whp on 215/40/17. so i am buying smaller rims and taller and wider tires.

 

What type of tire?

 

right now i have yokohama parada spec 2's. so do you think the 55's will rub?

 

I personally think so. FWIW, I think it would look ackward too.

 

ok, i guess i'll find out. if i get a definite answer that it will rub then i will just stick with the 50 series. oh by the way my car is only lowered 1.5 inches in the front.

 

225/45/16

I had them on my Prelude, they fit perfect. The only downside is that not that many tire companies make that size...
