I just picked up some mugen MR5s. Now I do realize It may look gay in some of your eyes. Im just want to know if 215's will fit on the 15x6 38+ offset rim. I currently have 205's on them but I want that wider footprint. Thanks

Just so that others may be better able to help you.

What kind of car?
What is the aspect ratio of the tire you are considering?
Why do you wish to go wider? Looks or performance/function.

And who cares if someone doesn't like your rims, just as long as you do!

Cheers!

 

DC2 im looking at 215-45-15. Dropped on some neuspeed race springs ( front 2'' / rear 1.75'' ). If they do fit on a 15x6 +38offset rim then i need to see if they will rub alot. I will most likely have to roll my fenders.

 

I'd probably say you keep with the 205/50/15, The 215 will hang over to rim so to say on a 6" rim. And witha 215 and being dropped I can almost guarantee they will rub somewhere. Using one of my tire calcualtors here at work the 205 is only .39" narrower than the 215. I don't think that much of a difference is going to be worth all the rubbing issues that can be at hand.

 

On a GS-R, it will rub (and you don't have a lot of tire choices, either). Stick with 195/55-15 or 205/50-15.

Besides, if you want better performance, buy a better, higher-performance tire, and don't worry about going wider.

 

Sounds good, I appreciate the comments; you probably saved me a pair of tires lol.
