i got some 225/50/15 (yes they are kinda big). and i was wonderin if there would be any problems if i monted them on the phat fives? its only for track use. nothing else. the car is dropped about 1.25/1.5 inches or soo.

You can look up the specs for the tire on the website of the tire manufacturer or a tire dealer like the Tire Rack. You'll find a spec for "approved rim width". See whether or not the '94-95 GS-R rims (which are 15x6) fall into the approved range of rim widths.

 

thanks man.

it show that 6 is good. that means it should be fine.

 

I was going to run that tire too.....i was told that a 225 was possible, what do you think?

 

it looks kinda big. i have them mounted now. they look like they might rubb.

 

Why so big? That's alot of heavy/big tire to move. I think you might be faster on 205/50's unless you have a big power car?

 

i have 225/50/15's on my integra and use have them on there for daily use. I'm lowered roughly 1.75 inches and it does rub from time to time ... but only going over extreme bumps or turning the wheel the entire way to the left or right. It's not too bad...

 

yea, but i only plan on useing these at the tracks. so im hoping it wont be a problem. dont have the money to run these daily.

 

just saying that if i can use them daily (along with 6 other locals off the top of my head) ... the track will be no problem

I would second that. Unless your car is 200fwhp whats the point in running a heavier 225 width tire? If you are making big power, yes straight line there is no reason it shouldn't work.

so unless your making much more then stock power, you will be slower with 225 then 205. if your stock or close to it, you won't have grip issues with 205 at all. If your modded to make some good power, then a 225 drag radial will be just what you need. Not sure if rolling the fenders is required though.

 

kool. i've tried 205 falken azenis but they dont work. i still spin in 1st. and a bit in second. my motor is not stock but i know i dont have 200whp. im just hoping i dont bog due to the weight and the 225 size.
