which tire size is the best in terms of looks? car is barely lowered only .75 so no issues of rubbin,



im going to use my 195/55/15s from my gsr for about a month or two before i get new tires(i work at a dealership so swapping to new tires again wont be problem) but im confused on which one will look better?

 

205/50's are a little bit wider, it would look a bit more flush with the sides of ur car.

 

205/50-15 is closer to the stock size. 195/50-15 is smaller.

My stock wheels with 205/50-15 Yok ES100's:


And my stock wheels with 195/50-15:

 

Im rockin some 225/50r15, the Falken 912's or something. 94 Ls 2" drop

 

195/55-15 and 205/50-15 both work fine on 15x6.5 wheels on an Integra. Don't worry about looks; no one will be able to discern the 10 mm width difference by looking at them. As for the choice between the two, some tires are only available in 195/55 and some tires only in 205/50. Some tires are cheaper in 195/55 and others in 205/50. Performance and fit differences are insignificant. Which to get? If you want a really sticky tire, like if you occasionally autocross, get the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec which is only available in 195/55-15. If you want a longer-lasting summer tire, get the Yokohama S.drive, which is available in both sizes but is cheaper in 195/55-15. If you need to use these tires in winter snow as well as warmer weather the rest of the year, get the Kumho ASX all-seasons, which are the same price for either size; flip a coin.

Oh, and on an Integra, 225/50-15 is too big, and 195/50-15 is too small.

 

i have 205/50 and i think thats perfect.

 

thanks guys,

like i said im barely lowered only .75 inch all around, i found a good deal on 205/50/15 for 256 shipped last question will my wheel gap still be about the same? i dont want it to get bigger haha

 

195/50/15 for me

 

205/50/15

 

The outer diameter of the 205/50-15 is slightly smaller than your stock 195/55-15 tires. The difference is 0.37", so the difference in the radius - the dimension that affects the gap - is half that, or 0.19" . To put this into perspective, the difference in diameter between a brand new tire and one that is worn and ready for replacement is around 0.50". When was the last time anybody noticed the decrease in gap from replacing worn tires with new ones? NEVER, LOL! But if you don't want tires with a smaller diameter, just stick with 195/55-15 for your replacement tires.

 

well my main reason chosing a 50 series tire is because i dont want the tire to look way to big(tall wise) and the rim small

 

205/50 is what im runnin on my daily. works for me.

 

heres the results guys looks good to me still plenty of meat left so when its time to get tires i'll be getting 205/50/15s
