pretty sure they're 205/55 R16, anyone run these on a stock R suspension? Any rubbing? It's a little bigger overall diameter, but i can get some very reasonably for winter tires. Thanks!

 

I think they're 15s.

I remember Wingless R had them on his car for a little bit.

 

Someone had them for winter tires, and I think they are 16"

I can't remember who had them tho

 

I have some and they're 16".

Never tried running them with the Prelude tires though.

 

I'm talking 98+ prelude 16s, the five-spoke slant ones. I know the wheels work, just wanna make sure the tires are cool...i understand they're larger than stock diameter, just wanna make sure i won't rub anything too hard

 

Shouldnt have a prob.

 

Yeah 97+ prelude rims are 16's

 

Stock 97+ Prelude tires are 205/50-16. They will probably fit but they are too tall..speedo will read slow 2.7%.

 

I remember someone had them on and they didn't look good at all

 

haha, nothing looks better than my naked steelies! These are for traction in the winter, i can't see the wheels from inside the car

 

stock tires (if you mean the actual tire it came from the factory with) SUCK. Bridgestone Potenza RE92's are the worst tire ever made. But I'm just assuming (and hoping) you meant the size.

 

Ha, the RE92s are GODLIKE compared to the POFS Michelin XGTs that come standard on the GSR!

The RE92s are not horribly bad as an all-season tire...still, was dumb for Honda to put them on a sport coupe like the Lude.

Im looking for a winter setup as well, Im thinking about 16" rota slipstreams. When I bought the R I still had my 97 Prelude, and I never thought that about keeping the stock prelude wheels. I sold it with 17's and gave the guy my stockers. Anyway Ive heard they weigh a lot more than stock wheel and tires, but steelies probably do to.

I wish that I had the money you have so I could run my Slipstreams as winter wheels. I just got done taking off my slipstreams and putting on the steelies for winter. I was scared about messing up the slipstreams.

 

Steelies are heavy but who cares?! It's winter... slow down.

My GS-R playing on a lake last winter with st33lies y0!

 

that's good~ you will save 2.7% of mileage too

 

4th gens si's and vtec's run 15"s, S's run 14s

 

i ran the SH wheels on my R, and my R was lowered...no rubbing, just looking good.

 

Ihad 98 base model Prelude wheels on my car for a while (Because I bent my Volks). With the original tires. The car rode fine and handled okay. I was lowered 2 inchs so I had a few minor rubbing issues but for the most part no a problem. You'll be fine.

 

yea, i had em for awhile (winglessR) 16", heavy, lowered my gas mileage too, but at least I could treat them bad, curbage, etc. Don't have the pics handy...

-will

 

nice

i cant wait for snow

 

memories of last winter .......

 

Damn man, it's about time you got another set of wheels...your FOUR OTHER SETS were getting lonely.

 

Thanks Apex i, the original tires were the key part of my question. With my ATS FD, i think the effective taller gearing won't matter much...when it's below 50 and wet i can't get traction in 2nd on my P7000s until they warm up a bit...in desperate need of all-seasons up here.

And yeah, i'm cornering the market on 5x114.3 wheels, D will probably steal my trip back to O-town from his winter break, give his Azenis some mileage relief.

 

Looks like fun!
