I am getting my car lowered on Tuesday and have a chance to get some 205 60 r14's for $100.00....will they rub? I did a search but the 4 threads were about 15's or 16's not 14's.....I'm not dropping it more then 2 inches if that helps and using stock CRX rims.. Thanks.

 

You should be alright. Im pretty positive that it wont rub on the fender lip, but you might have some rubbing taking sharp turns in side the fender well.

 

hmm dunno but my 205/50/15 rubs on my falkin azenis..

 

i run 205/50/15's and i never ever rub

 

Depends on much you are lowered, and on what.

 

Stock CRX SI rims are not wide enough for 205s. They will fit, but won't fit right. I wouldn't run a 205 on a rim less than 6".

 

Ummm....I'm not so sur I want to get these now. Some say rub some say no. I think I'll go with 195 60 14's just to be safe unless I can work out a deal with the tire guy that if they rub, he'll take them off and give me smaller ones...but I don't think that will happen.

 

On a thinner rim, I think youll be happy with the 195s

 

I think it will rub.I saw an accord with this size tire at stock heighth and they looked like lowrider tires because the stuck out so much.A 185 or 195 at the most on those rims man.

 

Don't get 195s... I have 195s and they made the car lose 'feel' during turns... kinda floppy-like

Plus 195/60R14 is bigger (ie taller) than 185/60R14 by a hair...

wow urs dont rub? maybe my ingalss camber kit is causin it..

 

UPDATE:

Well I never did get those tires because I got got my car lowered.....but It's back to stock height(stay away from eBay crap!!!)....so with the stock height will these rub? I still have a chance to get these. Thanks.

 

i had that size tire setup a while back and if you dont want to rub, lower your car about 1.5" because if you hit a dip while youre turning...your fender wont forgive you....

 

ian, you should have kept rolling the mr5's

So does 205/50/15 rub? or just depends on how much your lowered?

 

u should just invest on some 15s

 

It depends mostly on tire width and rim offset.

Stock CRX rims are a +45 offset , and you should be able to put up to a 205 on there at stock height. With a 2" drop, getting away with a 205 is still easily possible, but if you are turning and hit a moderate to major bump, you'll likely get some rub on your inside front wheel. Don't worry about rub during normal steering. It won't happen with that rim/tire combo.

CRX Gator:" bro your wrong...stock offset is 45...plus you can barly get a 205 on a stock 14x5 inch rim...for a 215 you would need at least a 5.5 inch wide rim..."

Thanks for the correction.

A 205/60/14 is taller than a 205/50/15. Not only will you rub, but you'll also kill your handling and gear ratio.

Stay away from those tires.

 

then what would you suggest for 15's?

195/55/15 ?

 

i have 195/50-15 on my K1's

 

205/50/15, or better yet for an EF, 195/50/15 as suggested.

 

195-50 i love em...their treatin me go0d and my cars slammed

 

bro your wrong...stock offset is 45...plus you can barly get a 205 on a stock 14x5 inch rim...for a 215 you would need at least a 5.5 inch wide rim...

id get a 195/55/14 or a 205/50/14, but for that size you should get a set of hx rims since they are 5.5 inch wide...where as the stock is 5, and will be hard to get off...

 

Yeah 195/50/15 here too, but my wheels are 15x6.5". I think Dunlop made the SP8000 in 195/55/14. That would be perfect for 14"ers.
