Default Tire Size Question (Noobie Question)

i was wondering,,, i have an '02 rsx-s and I am lowering my car 2 inches all around. i am gonna stick with my stock wheels for now and my tire size is 205/55/16. i think my profile size may be alil to big and might look alil iffy being lowered with the stock wheels. so maybe gettin 50 series tires may look better. what you guys think? thanksssss!

no flaming on here, just opinions

dont lower it so much ... hell if you lower it more than an inch you lose alot of your steering ... man people and dumping their cars than daily driving it ...

well if you plan on going 205/50/16 just make sure it doesnt rub on your wheel well and doesnt ... good luck

are the 205/55/16 the stock size?
i have a 05-06 so i'm not sure about your year
if it is the stock size then you should be fine

on 02-04 models, i perfer a slight drop (maybe 1-1 1/2) on a larger tire with the stockies
looks good

205/55/16 will be fine on a lowered car. I would not go to a 205/50/16 on the RSX. It'll look funny, even lowered. A taller tire will actually make the car appear to be lower.
