Default 15's on a 5th gen



Thinking about running radials on my car all the time, anyone have pics of 15's on their 5th gen? Trying to get a idea of what it will look like.

I use 15x7s and 15x8s on my PTB/H2 road race car. Nothing wrong with 15s at all on a Prelude. However, I'm thinking of changing to 17x8.5s, but I'm not sure if I'll do it or not.

What tire size are you running on those? Any rubbing?

225/50/15 Hoosier R6 race tires. I also ran 225/45/15 Hoosier R6 tires, but the 225/50s work better with the FD and transmission gears I'm using.

Hardly any rubbing at all. The fenders are rolled on the rear, but the fronts are totally stock.

Keep in mind that a 225/50/15 Hoosier is wider than any other 225 on the market (9.8" OA width on a 7" wide rim, and 10+" wide on an 8" wide rim).
