what size tires do you guys run on your integra with 15 inch wheels?
thanks

 

195/55/15
or
205/50/15

 

would 205/50/15s rub the fender lip?

That would depend on the wheel's dimensions and the suspension.

 

i can go low, and i have camber kits. the wheels are 15x6.5 and have a +38 offset

 

205/50/15 they have a wider footprint than 195/55/15

 

I have some 15X7 +31 wheels with 195/55/15 tires and have had no rubbing. I'm also on H&R Sports (-1.8) with no camber correction, just an alignment. So it would seem that on a 15X6.5 +38, you could run either a 195 or a 205 without rubbing. BTW, how much camber do you plan on running?

looks better that way

 

for stock 15x6 wheels I recommend 195 tires (either 195/55-15 or 195/50-15 if you want a cheaper tire).

For 15x6.5 or 7" wheels I would go 205/50-15.

I would not do 205/50 on stock 6" wheels. They're really too narrow for 205 tires and are better suited to 195's.

indeed.

 

ok thanks everyone. i went around town today pricing both tire sizes at many different shops and cannot find one place that i can buy them and have them mounted and balanced for under 400 for either size. then i need an alignment on top of that. do these prices seem high?
also about how much camber im going to run. i dont know very much about how it all works with that. i just dont want my tires to wear badly so if anyone has suggestions for camber please let me know

 

You shouldn't need a camber kit for wheels. At the end of the day your suspension is traveling the same regardless your wheel and tire sizes.

Go to Tirerack.com, they have good prices on tires, you should be able to find something decent there. Also mounting and balancing only costs about $50-$80 at discount tire.

why are you so worried about your camber? your only buying tires anyways.....

 

i got the camber kit so my wheels/tires will be straight up and down. when i lower my car i will be able to use the camber kit to adjust the angle of the wheel, saving treadlife

When you lower your car, it *should* handle better with the stiffer suspension and lower center of gravity. However if you adjust the tires back out to 0 camber, you're going to lose some that handling ability.

Negative camber aids handling. You can safely lower a Honda 2" and be fine with only adjusting the toe-in back out to factory specs. Unless you're extremely slammed, you won't need a camber kit. Just be sure you rotate your tires regularly, every 5K miles or so.

As for tires, something like an ES100 tire in 205/50-15 is probably going to cost around $300 for a set by mail-order, then you would have to get them mounted. I just recently had my 205/45-16's mounted and balanced for about $50.

 

Well put PatrickGSR94. Like I stated earlier, my DA is lowered 1.8", and I've had ES100's on for roughly 12K miles with regular tire rotations and I've had even wear. As for tires, look online, such as TireRack and Discount Tire. The prices are usually cheaper than the local tire shops. Check regularly also, because places like Discount Tire offer free shipping sometimes.

 

i dont know how many inches i want to go. i just would go to where i think it looks good. any one have any idea on how many inches i need to go to have a 205/50/15 about one finger away from the fender? if i dont need this front camber, ill just save my money for other stuff

 

So Fat 5's are 15x6? and they can fit 195/55 and 195/50. And they can do 205/50 but is not recommended?

 

195/50-15 is too small for an Integra (diameter is 3.3 percent smaller than stock); that's the 15" size for older Civics, not Integras. Use 195/55-15 (stock size for the GS-R and ITR, same outer diameter as all Integras) or 205/50-15 (1.6 percent smaller diameter). Yes, either 195/55 or 205/50 fits fine on the 15x6 stock wheels.

If you're looking for a great deal on a tire very similar to the Yokohama ES100, right now you can get the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 in 205/50-15 for $48/tire at the Tire Rack, and there's a $50 rebate on a set of four through June 24. That's $142 for a set of four tires. Great deal on a very good tire.

Yes.

Any of those three sizes can be mounted on 15x6 wheels. However, 195/50 is too small for an Integra (but if you're using fat fives on a pre-'96 Civic, they're fine). Use 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 on an Integra.

 

so do i really need a front camber kit though, i got one and had to send it back, and if i dont nned it i will let the guy know so i can get sumthin else

 

it depends on the drop not the wheels/tires

 

nitto neo-gen 205-50-R15

 

I am very tempted to buy the Dunlop 205/50. Is it worth it to get the 195/55 instead?
