Hey just wondering if anyones running 205/55/16 tires on their 5th gen with a +32 or lower offset... any rubbing issues?

 

This is for a '92-96 Prelude Si, correct?

If so, the 16" size you should be using is 205/50-16.

 

no sorry this got moved from the accord section, its a 5th gen accord

i kno the size i SHOULD use is 205/50 but i was just wondering about 205/55 with 16x7 +32 wheels

What year is that? What about sedan vs coupe, 4 cyl vs V6, EX vs LX vs DX?

its a 95 coupe, im just concerned whether or not the extra sidewall would cause a wheel with that kinda offset to rub

 

Why would you want extra sidewall? There are NO benefits to using an oversized tire. Stick with 205/50-16.

 

I can get a good deal on the 205/55s lol... like a really good deal

If you're willing to put the wrong tire size on your car, it's pretty obvious you don't treat it well at all. Oversized tires might rub, and will definitely throw off your speedometer and odometer, and make your acceleration worse. Get the right size tire for your car, and that's 205/50-16.

sigh...

look, putting a tire thats 15mm bigger in diameter in no way proves that I treat my car badly or "mickey mouse" things... i am absolutely **** about my car, there hasn't been one part go on it that isnt OEM honda or top brand aftermarket... so forgive me if im a bit offended by your opinion of how i treat my car seeing as you know jack all... but regardless of that thats not even what i asked in the original question...

what i asked was if it WOULD rub, not if it MIGHT or COULD, if it WOULD... this implies that im looking for someone thats allready run the setup in question that has previous experience with it... THERE HAVE ALLREADY BEEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE RUN THIS TIRE SIZE WITH NO PROBLEMS JUST NOT WITH THIS OFFSET... so please keep your opinion to yourself if you have no concrete knowledge on the subject... thanks!

I do have concrete knowledge of the subject. You just don't want to listen to any of it. Here are the facts:

1. You're using the wrong size tire.

2. You're asking for other people who use the wrong size tire. Other people are sensible enough not to use the wrong size tire, which is why no one is telling you whether it works or not.

It's clear you're not really looking for advice. You're looking for someone to tell you what you're doing is okay, when the fact is that it's the wrong thing to do. You probably already know that; you're just hoping that someone will tell you it's okay. It's not. Period.
