hey guys i have a 90 crx sir jdm and looking to put a set of gold axis og oldskool 15x8 with a +25 offset what do i need to do to make them fit with 205/50R15s or 195/50R15s and the car has eibach sportline spring if i remember correctly its a 2 inch drop and i dont really wanna roll the fenders might have to after all but ohh well and possibly lowering it little more depending on wheel fitment..... and i dont have the wheels in my possesion yet but theres a guy local selling a set with tires for 800 and theres little curb rash or should i get new?

any pics aswell?

 

Those wheels are far too wide with too low of an offset for stock fenders/quarter panels. You're looking at a 225/45/15 for the narrowest tire you can safely run on that car.

 

i think your messed up on tire dimensions you said a 225/45r15 is narrower than a 205/50r15 well the 225 is the section width in millimeters and the 45 is the percentage of width that make the sidewall height so a 225 would be 20 millimeters wider than a 205 making it just a tad over 3/4 of an inch wider than the 205/50r15 is 8.3 inch wide and 23.1 inch tall and the 225/45r15 is 8.9 inch wide and 23 inch tall if you don beleave me heres a link to prove it and im a liscenced auto tech with my red seal

p.s. im not trying to put you down or anything what im doing is educating you with proper information so the next time you look for tires you know what your looking for... hope this info helps you out

 

back on topic is there any one with these wheels on an ef or crx ?

 

I didn't mess up anything. First of all, the narrowest tires that are rated to fit that wide of a wheel, as well as your vehicle ARE 225/45/15's. I wasn't trying to compare the 205's you listed with them, because they're too narrow for the wheels you're choosing.

PS. I couldn't help but laugh a little at your post message. I don't think I need help buying tires, bud. I've been moderating this forum for years now, and its not because I have a charming personality and favorable humor.

 

lol i messed up a little haha i thaught you were trying to say the 225 was narrower than the 205 that why i put all that to perspective haha so sorry as i get anoyed with ppl trying to figure tire size and not knowing what mean what thats why i posted all that again sorry little miss understanding

but either way i can run a 205 on an 8 inch rim would be slightly streched that not what the post was even about in the first place.........

im trying to find out what i need to do to fit the wheels on the car....even if it means little tire strech...

 

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but tire stretching is not a topic that is condoned in this forum (its in the rules). It has to deal with safety and all that.

 

well i know its in the rules to not ask about tire streching and im not asking about it im asking what i need to put the wheels on the car... if you clearly read my post its not at all about tire streching as you put in perspective i have read the rules

10. Do not ask about "stretching" tires onto wheels that are too wide.
All such topics will be locked.

Now did you ever think or consider the fact that my car does not drive on public roads ? did you ask ? and when the car only sees 1 km a year im not going to have the issues that come with tire streching but thanks anyways......

might aswell delete this post as i cant find the info im looking for anyways

 

Actually, you did ask about running a tire that's not rated for the wheels you're trying to put them on. This would require "stretching" the tire.


None of these questions are relevant to the rules of this forum. There are plenty of forums out there that devote more time/effort in to the "stretched" tire scene. But, this is not one of those forums. We deal with setups that will keep the driver safer in most scenarios. I'm sorry if you feel as though you've been wronged, but this isn't the place for the style you're trying to accomplish. Might I suggest the Appearance/Cosmetic forum, namely the Low Offset Wheel thread.
