Default Toyo RA-1 - 225/50/16 question....

I currently have a set of 16x7 Enkei RPF-1's and I was looking at getting Toyo RA-1's. These will be on an 94+ Integra chassis.

Can I fit 225/50/16 or will they be pushing it on the clearance? Car will be aligned and corner balanced, and the car will be set-up. But i'm just curious if that size tire can work.

Or am i better off picking up 15" Enkei's and running 225/45/15?

Does anyone have any experience with that size RA-1?

Thanks!

with a little fender rolling you should be fine if you are running a 45mm offset.

17x8 RPF1's w/ 235/40/17 on a dc2

Yes, but mine is on a car for which that is the stock rear size. Obviously, not an Integra.

^^from the look of the pic the tire rubs...

but yeah that tire should fit fine... might need alittle fender rolling... a buddy of mine ran 225/50/15 with a +25 offset.. he cut out the inner fender lip and the car was kinda low but no rubbing...
