Default 205/60/15 Will they fit the stock usdm rim?

Just as the title states, Might be able to pick up a set of some dirt cheap tires and throw them on some stockers. Car is not lowered.

And if they do fit, any pictures of this done?

Thanks

yeah I was afraid of that but I can get a set of 4 blizzaks for 45 locally. I might be having to drive the R this winter, so I wanted to be prepared. I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but it looks more like it as winter approaches.

Is your caR lowered at all?

That is a tall tire.

Dune buggy R FTW!

As long as you are not lowered and just intend to use them as winter tires then I dont see a problem other than not looking aesthetically pleasing.

205/60-15 can be mounted on 15x6 rims without problems. That size is 5.3 percent (an inch and a quarter) larger in diameter than the stock tire size. I'm guessing they will rub, and if they do, it's a problem (and can be serious if it's more than just touching the wheel well liner on full lock of the steering wheel). Other side effects are that the speedometer and odometer will both read lower than actual by that percentage, the ride height will be greater by about 0.6 inch, and the car will accelerate slower (like using taller gears) - none of which may be all that big a deal if it's just for winter. You can try it, but if they rub too bad, don't use them.

That's right! That extra 0.6 inch of ride height will make your Integra Type R as tall as - gasp! - other Integras!!!
