Default Who's running 205/55-15, 215/50-15, or 225/50-15 tires?

I was wondering if anyone had experience with these sizes on 5th and 6th gen Civics or 3rd and 4th gen Integras.

Are the tires rubbing? What's the drop, wheel size, offset, camber, etc?

I know Falken doesn't make tires in this size, but Kumho does.

Those are the wrong sizes for a 5th and 6th Gen civic. Not only will you rub (if you are lowered) but your speedo will be off by alot and prolly be sluggish off the line.

Gen 3 Teg here with 225/45/15 Hoosier's on 15X7" Te37's +43 offset.

Stock "01 ITR with Stock settings except for 8th toe out in front.

The Fronts Do rub the plastic well lining slightly when at full lock but, as we know you're not supposed to be at full lock much anyway,,, Rears do Not rub.

Khumo's will do nicely either way, R compound or road, Azenis are also a good choice as a road tire but, the Azenis are a wide *** tire for a 205/50/15

Good luck,


A..

205/55-15 and 225/50-15 are too big in overall diameter, and your speedo will be off. Acceleration will suffer a little. But 215/50-15 is actually a good size. It was the same O.D. as the stock 195/55-15 tires. I personally would like to see some good performance tires to have this size. In Japan, there are some good performance tires in this size.
