Okay so i just spent 2 hours google searching, so please don't tell me to do that first! I was wondering if I could run 205/50R16 tires on my 95 EX with stock suspension? OEM shocks/springs/struts. Would 215/45 or 205/45 be a better choice? I DO want a beefy tire look but mostly want the ride comfortability. I am not like any of you, i would rather have comfort over being slammed...sueme! If you have any pictures or advice that would be amazing! Thankyou!

 

yup.

 

Well thankyou sir! haha

 

Any other input before i buy these? Lol, i don't wanna like make turns and rub or anything ya feel me?

 

Now what if i wanted to lower it on some KYB excel-G shocks/struts with lets say Tein H techs?

 

this just make me think your tolling around or don't know what your doing! there is a wheel, tire, and suspension section here you know? but to answer you out of respect 205/45/16 would be the better choice as it the closest to the factory tire and won't throw your mph on the cluster off by much, same goes with the 50 and 40 series tire one or the other will give you more or less mph but not be a big difference, 40 if you want low profile, 45 in between, 50 beefy, you can still lower the car with either tire size. if it just shock and spring your negative chamber will come into play and tuck then tire under the fender automatically for you depending on how low those spring will drop you.

 

Dude i'm not trying to troll im sure this will get moved lol. I also have 0 knowledge compared to anyone here which is why i asked and you can tell :b Thankyou for answering though in a nice mannor! But you say if i lower i would have to camber as well?

 

I'm saying if when you lower your car and you don't have adjustable chamber then negative chamber will come into play and will automatically tuck in your tire under the fender for you, and if you want to correct that you will have to buy adjustable chamber to fix it them depending on the tire size you get you will may or may not have to roll your fender to get a good clearance.

 

Okay thanks man, would there even be that huge of a difference in feeling between 205/45 and 205/50? Im just wanting to lean more towards comfortable driving. Also is there a specific area i would ask about jdm motor questions or is that cool here?

 

to me no! not really! comfortable! it hand to tell because everyone has there own taste and alot of things come into play, what is comfortable to me might be to harsh for you, as far as tire go i would stay with the 45 series just the be on the safe side of law enforcement, 40 if you want low profile and plan to lower it more. asking about motor here is another topic my advice search before you post or start a new thread as there are many thread related to Jdm motor that already exist.

 

I hear you brother, thanks for the help!

 

You say you searched...but did you really? I don't think so.

Your tires will be taller and wider, and will limit how much you can lower without body modification. Your speedometer will also read incorrectly.

 

have 205/55/16s on my EG, gsr cut suspension rubs SOMETIMES when i turn and hit a bump

 

i have 205/45R16 on my EG. It rubbed when i was lowered 2.5 inches. I switched to 1.5 and havnt had any problems since. I think it handles comfortable

 

Thankyou guys for the input! I eneded up buying some Falken ZIEX 205/45R16! I have 205/40 on right now but my bushings/joints are bad so the insides of them are fucked but the rest of the tread is like new. I learned my lesson

 

the only thing that will eff up tires is excessive camber I'm talking like negative 6 degree's. and a poor alignment not worn bushings and ball joints at least they have to be GONE before you'd see uneven tire wear coming from it. have 225/50/15 r888's on my teg with about -3 camber all around and 0 toe. get some Function & form T1 coilovers ! or just a full body coilover vs just springs on shocks separately etc

 

Who knows man, i got 200k + on her so she is due for new parts anyway ;D

 

Don't waste your money on F/F. Too soft for track use, too hard for daily driving.

 

they're a good budget coilover that's about it plus you can be herrafrush y0

 

They're the best of a pile of bad choices, but being the best of the worst is hardly something to brag about. The extra $150-$200 is worth it to step up to a proper entry-level setup from Koni/GC.

 

When ever i decide to get coilovers i was going to get these! The street performance calibration.

 

I've heard acceptable borderlining on good things about Progress CS2's.

 

So recommend Koni yellows with GC?

 

i had my hatch lowered 3.5 in in front and 3 in back with 205/45/16 and it didnt rub at all, and the fenders were mildy rolled

 

Highly. You can't go wrong with Koni yellows, and if you call up Ground Control and tell them what you want to do, they'll tailor spring rates to properly match what you need.

All you guys talking about "this rubbed" and "that didn't", none of you have said anything about your wheel width or offset. That's just as important as tire size when it comes to rubbing.
