just debating if i should get 15 or 16 inch rota slipstreams for my civic. any input would be helpful, what would work well for auto x/track or drag, but not be ricy? thanks

 

16 are perfect for your car....but if your doing drag then go for 15 or 14's because they are lighter. but either way your car will look good on some slips

 

thanks, i think im going to go with the 16s they are easy to find. im prob not going to drag it much anyways. any ideas for good tires?

 

you should get some, 15si think there called gt3, they are also rotas they have a chrome lip... they look hard on efs

 

I would actually recommend 15's. They are perfect for autoX (actually 14's even better) and tires are cheap and plentiful.

16's while looking nice, sometimes tend to make an ef look like it sits higher.

 

i dont really like the crome lips, i am not a big fan of shiny stuff. thanks though.

 

thanks maybe I will get 15s then :-) anyone know where to get them at a good price? thanks

 

15x7 rotas or stay with 14s.

16s will raise up your EF making it look funny. With 14 or 15s you can still run a decent sized sidewall and look awsome.

 

jaydm.com or i say ebay, they got them the cheapest and they got them all..

 

just dont get 16s, there too big for the efs

 

15's get my vote, often tad lighter and a great selection of tires I run 195/50R15s on my hatch looks sharp light as a fly and you can get so many kinds of tires for them.

16s look a little too large for my taste but also offer a ton of good choices for tires.

14s its harder to find a good tire.

If you really want to autox or drag slicks. 22" slicks for drags 13x9 for auto X.

 

16s for cruising or daily drivin
15s for autox and track days
14/13s for drag
get two sets

 

16"



Personally I like the handling of thinner-sidewall tires....

Not trying to hijack cause those Slips are bad, but here's a pic of my '89 sedan with 15"x7" Drag DR16's (Rota GT3 knockoffs but lighter!, black w/ polished lip)...got them from JLB Motorsports for $550 with lugs...I love 'em.

15s. You really need at least a 50 series tread for performance and traction. I use to run 205 40 16 and 205 45 16 and absolutly hated them.

 

i have 16'' on my ef civic. and the only thing that i did wrong was got a 205 / 40 , it's almost a lowpro but they are azenis. I can't wait for them to wear out so i can get some 215/50's, i mean im scared to corner hard because the rim is soo close to the road

 

i want to put 205/50s on them not sure about wheel sizes but something tells me I cant get a 15 to fit them on.

i have 205-50-15 dunlop direzzas and they are perfect. go on tirerack and they have them for like 48 bucks the last time i checked. theres not a whole lot of options for 205-50s but my next set will deff be bfg kdw2

 

Mine are 205/50R15 Falken ZIEX...anything wider than a 15x6 should be OK with a 205.

do they even make a 215/50? it will throw your speedo off. that is a massive tire

 

15's

 

Almost every 15x6.5 or 7 I had I ran 205/50/15. You only need to go 195/50/15 if you're offset is screwy or you are super low (maybe). Other than that you should be fine.

 

I'm not sure if the make a tire that size, thats why Im switching back to 15's

 

15's

 

http://www.edgeracing.com they are having the WTF sale right now and have some good prices on 15's. Look at the Flik Fuels they are good people that is where I got my wheels and tires.
