I did a search and just came up more confused.

I have a 92 Si at stock height. I am looking to get Kuhmo 712's. Will I get wheel rub with 205's. What if I have a couple extra people in the car?

Advice? Recommendations?

 

There should be no problem with running the 205s. As long as you have a proper wheel for it. (6" or wider)

 

i have 205/50-15 Azenis with a 2 finger gap all around and i rub in the rear. I have a 40mm offset. I suggest 205/50's in the front and 195/55-15's in the rear.
Also Azenis are actually wider than what they say on the sidewall.

just my $0.02

 

what about the kuhmo's, if azenis rub and are wider than they say, will 205 kuhmo's rub?

Please help, I can't seem to make up my mind on this one.

 

205 Kuhmo users chime in*

Help a brotha out!

 

look and the rear wheel well. There is a little metal tab where ther bumper and rear quarter panel screw together to hold it, just bend that tab inward and that will get rid of the rubbing. I've done it and done it fir everyone I know who had that problem and it worked.

 

No ****? That's good to know.

Anyone else have an opinion?

 

205 kumhos measure correct, 205 azenis are actually 219.

 

I had 205/50/15 kuhmos on 15x7" slipstreams with 40mm offset on my ek with an approx. 2.75" drop and never rubbed.

 

Thats what I like to hear. But what about an EG?

 

205/50/15 S-03s and no rubbing at all (H&R sport springs). Here is a pic:



They have a sidewall the is a few mm shorter than the 55 series, but they are about 3/4 of an inch wider. Give you a little curb protection also.

 

I have a 94 cx, i have 215/40/16 with the car dropped 2.5 inches.... it never rubs.. and running 215's i got a 1.96 60ft time....

 

195/50-15 maintains a rolling circumference close to stock...

 

I have 205/50/15 Kuhmo with a 1 1/2 finger gap in front and 1 finger gap in the back and i have no problems...hope this helps...

edit: then again, i have an integra...

Either get 205/50 or 195/50, 195/55 will kill the acceleration since they are taller than both of those.

None will rub.

 

I have my eg lowered w/skunkworks coilovers and I have a set of Falken ZE502 205/50/15 on a set of SI wheels and I have know problem what so ever. Depending on where you live in MD, we could meet up so you can see for yourself.

 

i use 712s in 205 format with ITR springs (slightly lowered) and me and 2 friends go fine w/o scraping...

 

how the hell do you get 1.96 on nittos?

 

maybe he has DRs ?

 

195/55-15 = smaller contact patch

205/50-15 = bigger contact patch

thats about the only difference, the sidewall size is about the same.

 

I'm assuming he didn't. Looking at his sig...it says Nitto 450's..the drs are NT555Rs right?

yup.. maybe he has magic NT450S =P

 

??? what are you talking about? 195/55/15 is what is on there from the factory. 205/50/15 is only a few mm short in overall diameter and would make amount of noticeable difference in acceleration.

 

no i am not making that up i have nitto 450's ..... 215/40/16.... I would be more then happy to post the time slip..... and i did cut a 1.96 60ft. time... wasnt magic it is a fact..... i know guys here that cut low 1.8 60ft times and it is all in your suspension setup.....late

 

Hey..I did not say you made it up...just wondering how you did it. What's ur suspension setup like? How did you launch?
