ok, i got some brand new rays engineering eurostar s05's with a 42mm offset. they're 16x7 and they'll be going on my gsr.

i found a local guy sellin some 205/50/16s' for 150. falken ziex's tires used for 200 miles or so. i might be able to find someone to mount these for free for me.

the discount tire co by my house quoted me at 539 with tax for some falken azenis. mounted and balanced. 215/45/16's. azenis have one hard sidewall, so i don't know if i can find someone to do it for free if i order the tires online. lol

i'm thinking the 205/50's might be too fat for me and they'll rub or look off. then again 215/45 doesn't sound that low profile either. ehh...i don't really know what to choose. any recommendations guys? i have a 2inch drop right now, and will probably drop it lower.

 

come on, someone has to have some tire knowledge. not everyone can be just running 205/40 or 205/45

 

i'm running 204/45. ssems to be the best combination for me on 16's

 

215/45/16's are what JDM ITR's come with. 205/50 will be ok, but it'll be much larger than the stock sizing. If I were you, I'd get 205/45's or 215/45's. But if you can work a good deal with the 50's, then go that route. Also, if you're not lowered too much, you won't rub.

 

I am running 215/45/16 RE-010's. A bit expensive but the puuuuuuuRfect size IMO! If you can't find a 215/45, I suggust 205/45's.

 

do u care if your spedo is off?? 205/50/16 will make your car slower. what are you looking for? do you care about performance or looks? most of the people who responded so far have posted only opinions. i'm really not sure how that will help you.

 

Here's what 205/45/16's look like:


And here's what 205/40/16's look like:


sorry..never owned or bought 205/50/16's....

 

i'd really like to get the 215/45 azenis'...but it is pricey. the 205/50's look like a great deal. especially financial wise. but i'd like to use these for looks and performance, so i might take a route away from the 50 series.

 

the proper size for an integra to keep the speedo accurate is 205/45/16
215 45 will be ok too but 205 50 will be a lot larger than stock and i wouldent recomend that size

 

to maintain stock size, get 205/45 or 215/40.

205/50 and 215/45 will be about the same size - bigger than stock. plus it looks goofy.

 

i would probably go for since its such a good deal worth not passing up

 

those 205/50's are a hard deal to turn down. but i think i'll just go with the 215/45/16 azenis' at 539

 

The stock size for the JDM ITR with 16's was 215/45/16 so your car can handle that size. Although the ITR was calibrated for that size so your speedo might be off a little. I however decided to go with 215/40/16 with my ITR wheels becuase I wanted a slightly smaller overall diameter. My speedo is about 5 mph off but I know how to fix that I'm just too lazy, and it doesn't bother me. I can show you a pick if you want.

damn that looks good.. what wheels are those?

 

they are called ALT Kappas

 

i have the similar question. I no the JDm ITR runs a 215/45/16 without rubbing, but isnt the fenders on them a little wider up front too? im worried about rubbing. my car is pretty damn low, but not dumped...so i dont want to rub.
i 2 am thinking aobut the 215/45/16 azenis but dont want to rub.

anyone can shed some like on this would be sawwweeeeeeet

depends on the offset of the wheels too. I had to run slighty more negative camber in the rear than what the spec should be, so that the tire would tuck into the fender when suspension traveled up.

you could say that 215/45/16 wont rub at stock height.

but theres a chance they might if you are really low

 

then what offset shold i run on a 16 x 7

 

"you can use any offset from 35mm up to 45mm on the Integra. A 35mm will push the wheel and tire out toward the fender as opposed to a 45mm offset which will be closer to the trailing arm." this is a quote from a guy over at team-integra.net i have compared other posts and found these numbers to be consistent. i've got 16x7 with 40 offset. looks fine

 

16x7 with a 42mm offset, 205/45/16 will be best for your car.

Depending on how low you are it shouldn't rub.

 

i think i'll be going 16x7 +42mm offset 215/45/16 falken azenis. 2 inch drop. WISH ME THE BEST OF LUCK. LOL
