Default Tire sizes for EF's

I searched and couldn't find anything so I thought I would make a thread about it.
Maybe everyone should post a picture of their cars showing their wheels with info on size/offset of wheels, tire size, and what suspension they're running.

I'm thinking of getting some 15x7 wheels on my 91 CRX Si and was wondering what size tires I should go with.

My cars lowered on Tein S-tech springs and its currenty on stock Si wheels with 185/60/14 size tires.

Thanks in advance.

i would go 195-50 -15 or 205-50-15 as long as its no more than a 2inch drop.

If you are getting a 15x7, try 195/50 or 205/50's. Mine has 205/50s and is lowered around 2"s and fits perfect in my opinion. I'm running 15x7 Kosei K1's with a 38 mm offset btw.

Here is a pretty good place to get tires for an affordable price
http://www.onlinetires.com/def...sults

I can personally recommen the Azenis RT615, which can be had here.

I'll try to get pics later.

I got 205/40/16 up front on my rex, and 205/45/16 on the back...i like the back better because it looks flush, and the front's ok too. Wider is better.

225/45 is an awesome tire size...or even a 225/50 will work, as seen here on my EG. Ive ran this same exact set on my CRX also...45 and 50 series tires work equally well.
