i want to buy a set of wheels from a member on here but i am not sure how they would look on my car. they are 15x6.5 with 195/50/15 tires. i know the style would look good, but what im worried about is how wide they would look, and how much fender gap i would have. i can lower it but i mean the gap after it is lowered. just want opinions on what everyone on here thinks about the set-up. thanks everyone

 

ive got 15's on mine with 205/50/15 tires. they look good to me...the gap isnt that bad but thats because i dropped it... for 15's

 

15s are good man, cheaper tires, more tires, and cheaper tires

 

the correct tire size choices for an integra are 195/55/15 or 205/50/15. I'd personally stay away from 195/50 as it may throw off your speedo and tach

 

im very happy with my 15's and im even more happy with my 205/50's...

205's shouldn't throw off the speedo but i believe if you go any bigger it would

 

so i could go to a 205 on a 6.5 inch rim no problem?

im also 205/50/15 on my 15 x 6.5 with not problems. lines up with the rim pretty well. couldnt be happier with my 15's.

Not true. 205/50-15 is 1.6 percent smaller than the stock size (195/55-15 or 185/65-14, depending on model), and 195/50-15 is 3.3 percent smaller than the stock size. Both will make the speedometer and odometer read high by the indicated percentage.

I use 195/55-15 if the tires I want to use are available in that size (which they are, for the Bridgestone RE010 on the ITR, the Yokohama ES100 on the GS-R, and the winter tires on both), and I use 205/50-15 if the tires I want to use aren't available in 195/55 (such as my Toyo RA-1 track tires).

 

damn, the wheels come with brand new 195/50/15s, so i dont know. would they not look very wide, or would they look alright? thanks for all the responses too

Just dumped my car a little more today and even looks sexier.

 

have you seen 15s with the tires in the size im describing? i just hate when tires go from decent wide, to looking like they are the same width as steelies lol i know i keep asking this, but i really dont want to buy them and then hate how it looks

 

I'm not sure if you're just worried about the width of the tires, but with the correct offset, your wheels will look fine. Anything from about +50 to +38 will look fine.

they will look fine, anything that is wider than stock wont look too skinny.

 

just lowered your car to the point where the tires line up with the fender and you'll be alright, looks and functions

 

I don't see how 0.5 inch can make a difference. I have a 95 gsr 5 fives that are 15x6 and i recently upgraded to 5zigen fn01r-c which are 16x7. Personally i like the wider tires. Makes it look meaner. But honestly i would stick with the 15s. Much more comfortable since you have more tires. But i still love my bronze 5zigen .

Get some SSR 15x8

 

alright i think im going to buy them, thanks for all of the input, maybe ill post a pic once i get them on.

 

damn i guess i waited too long, just checked and he sold them. gotta start looking again
any one selling some?
