came up on some meshes (not in the greatest shape) but got them for cheap. they're 14 inch rims. dont know the offset on them.

the tires it came with are old already and also too big for my car to be dumped. they're 185/70r14.

i want to know what size tire is perfect to run with and to tuck?

i have a 91' accord

 

Your '91 Accord Sedan came with that same 185/70-14 size tires from the factory. You should be able to lower your car reasonably (as much as 1.5-2.0 inches) without forcing yourself to get tires that are too small for your car.

You're really limited in tire selection in 14" sizes. Sizes that should work on your car include 185/70-14, 195/65-14, and 205/60-14. However, there aren't a whole lot of good summer tires available in these sizes. The only one I recommend is the Yokohama ES100, which is available in 205/60-14. (I'm assuming from your location that you don't need all-season tires for snow or frigid winter cold conditions.) In terms of clearance, the extra width of that size tire is offset by the fact that it's a half inch smaller in diameter.

 

The offset looks fairly large on those rims, sticking out more). This might lead to rubbing problems if drastically lowered.

It could also lead to rubbing problems if you use a tire that's wider than the stock size.

 

They look like RWD offset wheels, probably made for a Z31 or AE86.

 

215/35/14

 

nsxtasy - thats some good info to know! i'll keep that in mind.

bignewtCA - 215/35/14 - hhhmm i'll look into that lol but would u think 215 would be too wide?!

and everyone else that said about rubbing issue's, thats gonna be taken care of at the fender wall. and obviously im not getting wider than stock. and it could only be done with negative camber. these aint the only set i have laying around so it aint like imma be rollin on them everyday. i dont plan on that.

He was just kidding about that. They don't make tires in 215/35-14. And if they did, the outer diameter would be tiny; the tire size alone would lower your car by over two inches. Check out the calculated outer diameter of these sizes and you'll see why that's just a joke:

185/70-14: 24.20" (stock)
195/65-14: 23.98" (-0.9 percent)
205/60-14: 23.69" (-2.1 percent)
215/35-14: 19.93" (-17.7 percent)

Also, leave those old tires on the wheels to check for clearance. If you barely have enough room for the width of 185/70-14, then a wider size might rub. You can also use it to check clearance for the outer diameter of the tire. Just remember that (a) clearance depends on radius, not diameter, so a difference of say an inch in diameter means a half inch difference in clearance; and (b) the difference in tread depth and diameter between tires that are new and ones that are worn down to the treadwear indicator bars is about 1/4".

 

the tire industy is enormous, at a size 215 35 14 tires will be there but depending on brands they might have in Kelly Tires triple tread technogly. anything will fit, too wide or too skinny it will work for you.

 

lol aight i was about say if he was or not. 185 bearly rubs in the back, front bearly rubs when i turn so i was thinking one size smaller will do, especially when i roll the fenders, also was thinking about goin down to 60 series..... good info ya saying there!
