If you're boosted what are you still doing on the autoX?

i wasnt speakin literally sorry, i mean i drive my car on roadcourses, even tho its boosted, that doesnt mean i cant run a roadcourse with it..

I would go with a 15x7 but i wanted rota circuit 8s and they only make a 15x6.5 i believe

I wouldnt go anything higher then a 15x7 or 6.5 unless your RWD or a big *** heavy car.

Ive been running RNR's, 15x6.5 with Toyo Proxie RA1's. 205-50-15 - been working great.

so you can throw 205s on a 6.5" rim?

Yeah i mean my issue is i rub like hell when i hit hard corners, and although i am lowered im not super-low, and it seems to correct rubbing i need to raise the car (which i dont want to do) or get 15s....

Stock honda wheels are 15x6.

I usually run 205/50/15 on a 15x6.5 or 15x7 wheel.
