Default EG/EK H22 Swaps - - What Size Tires Are You Running?

Like the title says, trying to figure out what size tires to run.

Currently running 14" Aluminum Del Sol Dohc Vtec Wheels With 185/60-14's.

It really kills the Speedo, and thinking about getting taller tires, but just want to see what everyone else is running.

And sorry H2B, you don't count you have a correct speedo gear for stock tire size.

195/50/15 on LS mesh wheels. Yea, the speedo isn't correct. I thought about getting a larger size, but that's about as far as it went.

Oh yea, EH2 w/ H22/M2B4.

Traction trouble? Yea, 1st gear will always spin. 2nd gear will grab on nice dry roads if I don't power shift. Which I don't do, because I have a little too much mechanical empathy to beat the **** out of my trans. That and I'm scared of having to buy another one, I be poor.

205-50-15 on an M2B4 tranny, not bad if I feather it. Drop the clutch = spin city.

205-45-17 on jdm h22 tranny, anything over half throttle in first it spins no matter what and half way through second, id love to get some 16s or even 15s on this thing and see what it would do, my wheels weigh a freaking ton.

You H2B/F2Bers don't count

Your gear ratio's are designed around 23" tires.

H Trans gear ratio's are designed around 24.5" (Or 25") I think... (correct me if I'm wrong)

And the speedo was WAYY off, just trying to see what everyone else with H trannys were running.

Thanks for the input though. (almost wishing we would have went H2B...)
