id go 195-50-15, toyo t1r, is what i have and it looks perfect, 205 was told would hover the lip, but dont know my offset i think yours ay be wider then mine, which 205's may be ok. None the less sweet *** CRX man looks exactly like mine except mine's RSX Type S white pearl, love those jdm front ends

I have 15 x 6.5" wheels with 40 offset and they originally had 205 50R15s, which rubbed the fenders like mad on turns. I just put 195 50R15s on there and no rubs. Its lowered on Ground Controls. Here:

go search on vwvortex.forums.com, 205 is too wide I know that. I think over there guys are running 195 on a 8" wheel. IMO, those wheels arent right for stretch though.

I have a hf crx and I want to buy falken Azenis but the smallest tire size is 205/50/15. I have that tire size now, but the tire rubs on the rear fenders. Should I buy them, or should I just get other tires that have smaller tire sizes. thanx!!!

Thanx. Do you have any suggestions on tires that stick when you want them to, but can handle any weather?

would i be able to get away with driving that size on the 7.5 without problems?

what would be the next best option for my delema?
