i just recently traded someone a set of gsr blades for 16 inch black slips with the tire size of 205/50/16. my car is lowered two inches what can i do to keep them from scrubbing when i turn or drive over small bumps?

 

sorry i forgot to mention that the 16 inch slips with 205/50/16 tires are on a eg civic coupe lowered 2 inches

 

tires are way too big for your car. Get different tires, or raise the car up.

And this should have been its own thread. No need to thread jack.

 

what size tires should i get? and sorry im a noob, i havent reached my five post to be able to post yet.

 

Either 205/40-16 or 205/45-16... the first is slightly smaller and the second is slightly larger than stock tire diameter. 205/40 will ride more harsh than 205/45's.

 

WILL THE 205/45/16 STOP THE SCRUBBING COMPLETELY?

 

depends on how low your car is. I've always run 205/45-16 on my Integra and never had a problem, but then again the Integra came with slightly larger tires than your EG did.

 

yea deff go with 205 45 16 and yea it will stop the rubbing ur other option is rolling ur fenders

 

205/40-16 is the correct size for eg. if u want to have a bigger sidewall go with 195/45-16

 

just want to make sure of this before i go buy tires, i should be straight with 205/45/16 lowered 2 inches on my eg and ill have no scrubbing when i turn?

 

205/40-16

if u dont wanna listen then look up the size on tirerack.com

 

LOL this is the tread that i had to READ before i spent 460 on 205/50/16 new tires .
go with what r.wright suggest 205/40 and you'll be good .

 

205/40-16 is about 1/4" smaller than stock, while 205/45-16 is about 1/2" larger than stock, so yeah 205/40 would probably be better. Just watch out for big bumps and such. 205/40 tires do not offer much sidewall protection of the rim at all.

 

^^^we need to know the offset of the wheel to answer your question completely.

also proper tire sizes are in the FAQ https://honda-tech.com/forums/wheel-tire-56/9658-forum-rules-faq-read-before-posting-1188922/
the first place self proclaimed "noobs" should look

 

offset is +40, and dpetro1 thanks for the link, i couldnt find it before i posted. an administrator moved my post into its own thread.

 

dude i had the exact same proplem with my eg coupe..i bought some 16" rota slips with 205 55 16 and the tires would rubb all stupid lol so i went with 195 50 16's kumhos. stopped the rubbing issue and the tire size looks great on them 2. im a semi noob to the game but i've had my share or nooby problems 2. keep it JDM lovin it

 

195-45-16

 

lol omg 205/55-16 dang that's like 2 1/2" larger diameter than stock tires. Must have looked like monster truck tires on there no wonder it was rubbing!

 

Anybody got any pictures of the 16 in rims with this tire size so i can get an idea how it would look on a lowered eg?

 

low prof tires for sure.
