i'm going to get new rims and tires for my car when i get my taxes returns in,I did search but didn't find much that helped me and i know what rims i'm going to get but i can't decide if i want 15's or 16's? so if anyone has those size rims on a 2.5'' lowered EF please post some pics or some pros and cons, thanks

 

Typically on an EF 15's are the all out best for performance, but 16's will work too.

15" on my crx, they look, ride and perform awesome!

 

there is plenty of companies making a 15x7 that would be your best bet

i had the sportmax 002's on my old eg 15x7 and they were awesome

id go with that size if you can

if your just debating between 15s or 16s get the 15's they look better as well as perform better as deetz said

 

yeah i am going to get the Buddy Club p1 racing sf matt black.They don't make a 15x7 just the 15x6.5 and the 16x7. looks nice Deetz, did you lower the crx any and is that a 205/50 tire?

 

yeah, i agree 15" on ef for sure but if i didnt have a choice then 16" max is what i would go with.

 

A 15x6.5 will work just fine

My crx has been lowered on ST springs bringing it down about 1.7"
Yes, the tire is a 195/50R15

I also have a second set of wheels in 15" that i will run on the car its next season. Forged is always the way to go if you can afford it. The are crazy strong and light!!

 

Here's a quick shot of what 16's look like on a civic, this is my EK

 

There are lots of good 195/50-15 summer tires for 15" sizes, including the longer-lasting Yokohama S.drive and the supersticky Bridgestone RE01R and Toyo R1R. All-season tires, not so much.

There are some good 205/40-16 and 195/45-16 tires for 16" sizes. Good choices include the longer-lasting S.drive summer tire in 195/45-16, the supersticky Falken Azenis RT-615 in 205/40-16, and the all-season Kumho ASX in 205/40-16.

If you have to use the same tires in snow in the winter as you do the rest of the year, then I would go 16" because the ASX is better than the all-seasons available in 15" sizes; otherwise, I would go 15".

 

those look nice, so yeah i think i'm going to get the 15x6.5 i just hope its not going to have alot of wheel gap

 

i am running s.drives 195/45/16 on the back and bfg kdw2 on the front 215/40/16

 

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, unless you got stuck with the wrong size tires and two of them wore out before the other two, and you're just trying to wear out the other two till you have four matching tires.

 

for a crx i would go with 15s. 16s look good but in a bigger body car like 96-00 civic sedans or integras

 

yeh
im running 215's on the front
