215/50/13 on the streets??
Anyone driving with this set-up on the streets???
I was thinking of buying 4 Gold Lenso VPD with the +25off set and putting it on my hatch just to drive around on them.....I think it would be bad ***, but
I don't know if the off-set will work....
Does anyone have pic of 215/50/13 on there car??
Would the +25 off-set be a problem??
Thanks
I wana see some pics!!!

I'm having a tough time trying to understand what you're trying to accomplish.
215/50-13 is a REALLY SMALL TIRE. It's more than 5 percent smaller in diameter than the 175/70-13 size of the stock tires on older Civics. I don't think it's suitable for any of our cars.
Also, there are only three tires listed on the Tire Rack website in that size. One is a mediocre Sumitomo summer street tire, and the other two are R compound track tires.
What size are the wheels? This size tire is usually recommended only for wheels 6.0-7.5 inches wide, whereas most 13-inchers are narrower than that.
So tell us - are you thinking about driving on the street with mediocre street tires, or with track tires? And why would you want such tiny tires, anyway? Because it sure isn't a setup I would recommend...

I was just wondering if the tires would rub at all. The wheels are the Lenso VPD and they are 13" by 7.5inch wide with a +25 off-set. They are meant for drag racing and autocross so I don't see why I couldn't run them on the street.
I am only asking if the +25 off-set will rub on my car if I turn all the way.
I also know the tire choice for the street is limited to one kind of tire only, but I will only use it in the summer because I have winter wheels.
I wanted to drive them on the streets. I just think wide 13" wheels would lot HOT as hell on a eg hatch.
My only question is will there be any rubbing??
Thank for your imput.
