i like the 195/50/15 for the EFs instead. if your car is dropped less chance of it rubbing.

195/205.. hard to say without comparing each individual tire.

I had a set 195/50 yoko. AVS ES 100s and they were narrow compared to a set of 195/50 fuzion ZRIs. The ZRIs actually looked more like a 205 though they were measured as a 195.

Anyway.. I like 195s

FYI Rubbing a 205/50/15 in and EF has MORE TO DO WITH OFFSET. I have 205/50/15 pictured above and they don't rub. So Get out of here with the rubbing BS with a dropped car.

On the rear it has to do with offset and what brakes you have on.

I agree. I have 205/50/15 with some cheap rims (manufacturer unknown). I have never had a tire rub problem and I am dropped pretty low. What I did notice is if the offset made the tire come out any further it would rub.

I run 225/45-15 Hankook RS2-Z212s on my 15x7" +40mm wheels

I previously ran 205/50-15 Azenis RT-215s on the same wheels.

I have a ?? about offset since I'm going with this size wheel

(15x7's with 195/50 Potenza G 009's on a '91 Civic STD)

I've heard you are safe between +37 to +45 offset on EF's, but what offset would you recommend for a 1.25" drop (custom GC/Koni yellows) & 90-91 EX brakes without rolling the fenders?

Thanks.

..Stock rocks
