hey i need new rims and tires and im looking at 15x7 with 205/50's car is dropped 2" on tein springs, will the tires rub? i need help with that not sure if 15x7 is too wide or if 15x6.5 will be wide enough. i want the widest i can get without any rub for traction. thanks

edit: also i saw the faq and saw the recomendments but im trying to see if i can squeeze the 205/50's in there with 0 rub or if 195/50 is as big as i can go.

 

bump need help asap.

 

first off, what's the offset of the rim?

secondly, i would use 195.50.

if rubbing is your main concern using 205 will increase your chances of rubbing.

dont buy the wrong sized tire. buy a stickier tire if you are looking for traction.

 

offset will be +35mm

 

Sticky tires available in 195/50-15 include:

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
Toyo Proxes R1R

 

+35 is fine w/ that drop on 195/50-15 tires.

 

alright thanks.

 

I thought they only made the star spec in a 195/55?

If they make them in a 195/50 oh boy I cant wait to get some

edit: Just confirmed this. This is great news! A little more pricey than the 55 series but oh well

 

Yes, they recently came out with some additional sizes for the Star Spec, including 185/60-14 and 195/50-15 for del sols, CRXs, and pre-'96 Civics, and 195/60-14 and 205/50-15 to go along with the 195/55-15 for Integras and '97-00 Civics.
