Tires are 205/50/15 and rims are 15x7 with +43 offset. I'm tuckin' tire right now and rubbing with 195/55/15 on Si rims (not sure on the offset). Will I rub more, less or at all with the new tires and rims?

 

What car is this on?


If you are rubbing with 195/55-15s on Si rims then I am willing to bet you will rub with 205/50-15s on +43 rims.

00 civic. I'm rubbing the inner part of the fender, not the outside right now.

 

Your problem must be your offset (and possibly your wheel width), not your tire size. With the proper offset, 195/55-15 tires should not rub on a 2000 Civic. Even if it's lowered.

I don't understand how you can be rubbing with 195/55-15 tires on Si rims...

 

si have a 15x6.5 with a 45mm offset...your new wheels are going to cause it rub even more

 

I didn't mean to doubt what you say, but rather, to note that there must be something wrong to have them rub. From vtecsi00's post, it sounds like the offset on those wheels makes them unsuitable for your car.

 

just go with some 195/50s and u will be happy with it from +10 offset to 55 offset ur good to go!!!

 

word...im runnin 195/50 on a 15x7 +42...

I just might switch tires. We'll see if I end up getting them. Thanks guys.

There's nothing wrong, maybe he's slammed. Even if he uses the right wheel/tire combo, if he's really slammed, then yeah, it's very possible.

 

Even a 2000 Civic that is significantly lowered should have no rubbing with 195/55-15 (or 205/50-15) tires, as long as the wheels are the proper offset. There's no reason to use undersized 195/50 tires on a 2000 Civic (although they're the proper size for pre-'96 Civics). When you have one problem, don't make a mistake by adding another problem on top of it; instead, fix the original problem.

 

i say get tiny wheel spacers or the correct size wheel since you seem to be hella lowered. 15x6.5 or 15x7 +38 may do the trick if you really need the extra width of the 7" rim and are scared of rubbing the insides.

 

15x7 with a 35mm offset would be ideal

 

i told u.get 195/50s!!! lol

 

oh yea.dont be cheap. buy some! lol

I've seem them before on other Hondas, but never got a real response from the owners. I bought these used. I emailed Ground Control the same picture and they never responded.
