OK, i currently have kumho 712's on my car in size 205/50/16 w/ h&r sports and agx's. These tires fit fine and dont rub at all. I have an oppurtunity to get a very good deal on some new tires. They are dunlop sumthins i dont remember and they are size 225/50/16. They are on my freinds prelude and they rub very bad on his car. Anyone know if tires this size will fit w/o rubbing on del sol?? They are alot fatter and that is the main difference. Personal experiences please.

they wont fit..they will rub everywhere. Also the sidewalls will be way to tall. You wold need like 225/40/16s and they *might* fit on the front..but i dont think they would fit on the back.

225/50's are huge it would be the "Big Foot" del Sol.

50's on 16's will be really huge, and the 225 width will rub definitealy with that sidewall height.

 

Yes the 225/50 setup would definately be too much. They WILL rub terribly on your car and will make your gearing taller also. I would suggest a 205/45 setup on 16" wheels for a number of reasons. For one, they are identical to the diameter of the stock wheels/tires, I haven't seen anyone with this setup rub on del Sol/Civic, and they just look better (less donut look). Definately stay away from the 225's.

No they're not. 215/40s are closer. Don't believe me? Go here: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
