i have 195's on my 15x8 and i hate them. they are to stretched. i put some 15x6 wheels on with 205 and they felt way better just because of the wider tire. my question is can i put 215's on my 15x8? and i want a 50 series tire. will they look too bulged or will the side walls collapse? or should i just go with 205's?
thanks

 

215/50r15 will work better but still going to look stretched....225/50r15 would be the correct fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

215 would still look streched?

 

yes

 

Just go with the 15x6 wheels and you'll be fine.

Sell the 15x8 wheels on eBay to a VW owner.

 

ok i made a mistake. the wheels are 15x7.. i suck at life. so will 215 be ok on 7in wheels?

 

There aren't any good 215/50-15 tires. The only ones available are crappy tires, like the Kumho 711 and BFG g-Force Sport.

For an Integra, just get 195/55-15 or 205/50-15. Either one will fit on 15x7 wheels.

If you want the stickiest tires you can get on dry pavement, and you don't care how long they will last or how they do in rain, then get the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 205/50-15. For more detailed recommendations on 15" summer tires for an Integra, click here.

No. You might be thinking of one of their other tires with the g-Force name. They make a bunch of them:

BFG g-Force T/A KD - top of their line, designed for maximum grip on dry pavement. Excellent job at that. Not that great on wet pavement, and very expensive.

BFG g-Force T/A KDW and KDW2 - budget performance tire, decent wet and dry performance, similar to the better tires in that category (e.g. Kumho SPT, Yokohama ES100) but a lot more expensive.

BFG g-Force Sport - crappy cheap tire, similar in crappy performance to other crappy tires (e.g. Dunlop FM901, Kumho 712) that used to be all you could get in the budget category, but whose manufacturers have since introduced much better tires for roughly the same money.

You'll get much much MUCH better performance with any decent 205/50-15 tire than you will with the crappy g-Force Sport in 215/50-15.

 

cool thanks for the info.
