I'm sure this is the dumbest question ever, but can I get 225/50/15 hoosiers under my ITR with out doing any thing more dramatic then getting bigger rims?

 

38mm offset wheels. 15x6.5 or 15x7.
Roll the fender lip with a baseball bat.

It will work. Trust me.

 

 

You mean the outside part of the fender (in the wheel well of course)? will this work on my GSR??

 

225/45/15's on 7" Te37's on my R and only slight rubbing on front at full lock and rear, nothing to worry too much about though.

You want to NOT rub at all?
Get spacers.

They fit BTW,

A.

PS my suspension is completely stock...

Not sure on a 225-50, but I have 8 225-45 Hoosiers in the garage that work great. A set of 5mm spacers for the rear will get rid of the rear's tendancy to rub the LCA.

 

I had 225/45R16 on the front SE37Ks of my Integra before. I had slight rubbing at full lock, but nothing major. I don't know about the rear since at the same time, I was running 205/50R16 on the rear SE37K. BTW, those SE37K's are 16x7 42mm offset.

 

I'm assuming those weren't Hoosiers since you run STS.

Hoosiers tend to be MUCH wider than other tires listed as the same size.

 

S-03's

 

OK. Then you know they are wide.

The 225 Hoosiers wouldn't have fit on the rear with the 42mm offset wheels. They tend to rub the rear trailing arm with a 38mm offset.

oh yeah....I don't think I can get away from rubbing if I had put the 225/45R16 S-03's in the rear. With the 205/50R16 S-03's in the rear, I already had slight rubbing. But after I remove the black strips, there was no more rubbing. Now that I have 215/45R16 Azenis, there's no rubbing due to smaller O.D. than either the 225/45R16 or 205/50R16. However, the rear tires are very very close to the the trailing arms. So I agree with you, a 42mm offset wheels with 225/45R16 S-03's (do I have to mention the Hoosier? They're definitely wider) might rub the trailing arms.
