ok im in the market for some new tires. i want some wide sticky tire compare to stock which is 195 60 15. i used a tire calculator and can anyone verified that 225 50 15 is possible. this thing is telling me it is. and ppl on here a while ago said it couldnt be done. here are my results.


my rim is 6.5 inches wide http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit

damn its came out small

 

note i like the thicker tire look compare to all rim. how bout 205 60 15? i want 215 or 225 which is what i really want but i dont want the side wall to be skinny

 

any help????

 

what wheels do you have?

 

you won't be able to fit a 225 on a 6.5... you need 7.5 at least!

if you want a good size I would go with 205-55-15 or 205-50-15. I would recommend the 205-55-15 over the other one as they are a little closer to the stock diameter and won't make to much of a difference in your speedo accuracy...

 

well here's the first step you should take... by new rims that are more than 6.5" wide.

 

Ok relax... and FYI he just got the wheels he just isn't sure about what size to put! No need to get all fired up...

 

One guy from 8th civic put 225/50/16 on a stock 16x6.5 inch wheel fit with no problems it looked kinda funny tho but still fit. The 06+ civic's non si's have the same size wheel as 02-04 rsx's and 04-05 ep's





Here is the original thread

^ yep thats what i was looking for but i have a 15 inch rim. there light wheels thats why i like them

 

Yeah that should work the OP of that 8th civic thread said the first few miles of the tire break in the wheels would flex a little more but after the tire break in period they work like normal. LOL also you have super curb protection with tires like that
