Any opinions on this? I want to get Azenis for my stock 16x6.5 wheel, but I'm debating on whether to get 205/55-16 (stock size) or 225/50-16.

 

ITR's normally run 225's on 15X6 wheels. I don't think 225's on 16X6 wheels should pose any problems.

But, we do have some issues if we try to run 225's on the rear. The normal setup is F: 225/50/15 and R: 205/50/15

225/50/16's in an Azenis will = major rubbing. That's a tall, and wide, tire. Remember, a 225/50 in a 16" will be bigger than a 225/50 in a 15"

Oh crap, I see you have an RSX-S. Try the RSX forum because this won't apply to your car.

If this is for an RSX, you may get better answers by posting this in the RSX forum.

 

I was mainly talking about how the 225 width tire behaves on the comparatively narrow rim (7" would be ideal). I know ITR owners have experience with this, that's why I posted here. I'm not really concerned about the tire rubbing.

Well, that's a big tire for a 6.5" rim. You might notice a bit of slop on initial turn-in. It would look ok as a bulge looks cool, but it sucks for handling.

The ideal situation is nothing less than a 7" rim for a 225.
