post your tires/rims and maybe a pic to gice me a idea of what im lookin for. thanks alot you guys
15's look fine when you drop a rex on springs or c/overs,plus anything bigger will hurt acceleration. i have motegi racing mr7 15's and people ask me if i have 17's. of course you want low profile tires try kumho 712 ecsta supras!
I am running 15" greenlights with 205/50 r15 Falken Azenis. I think they look great.

you have a pic???? also post your brake upgrades, i was thinkin about wilwoods but then you need 17" so rotors and some nice pads would do alot better right. just thought id ask.
I run 16" Enkei RPO o2's..205 45 on H&R and tires dont rub..I should have run 205 40's..for better acceleration...i have no pics cause my car is a pile of junk
15" rota slips, w/195-50-15, i had 205/50/15 and the car would rub w/my car being lowered, stick w/195-50-15, best way to go. good luck

How many hp do you loose if you go with 16, or 17 inch over a 15 inch? I know i read it some where but i dont remember where... Because over at MachIII website there is a couple of rims i would be interested in buying when its time for me to get rims... including the Nippon advanti speed but they only come in 17 or 18.. But im not sure if i want that big because it might not look right, and depending on Hp lose, i would not want to risk it.. Does anyone know?
i think that there are a lot of big brake kits that only require 16" wheels but it depends on the wheel...
I've got 15" SSR Type X's w/Azenis - if you wanna see them, look for pics from the Long Island meet on Sunday.

i got 17's with 205/40/17 Nitto's on my CRX. i bought the car with them on there and was gonna take em off but now i decided to leave them alone. i hate to say it, but i kinda like them.
Right now I've got 205/50 Yokohoma AVS-ES100s mounted on 15x6.5 Rota Group Ns. I love these tires.
My last set was 205/40 Kumho 712s on 17x7.5 Rotas. With the 45mm offset they fit great but I would burn the Kumhos off until 3rd gear. With the current 205/50/15 ES100s I hook up in 2nd.
I also had 205/40 Nitto 450s on 16x7 Enkeis a few years ago. 40 series looked too small but those tires lasted forever.

I know it's not a CRX, But close enough. Mine are 205 40 17's with Toyo Proxes at OEM height. The tires did rub very slightly and I got all 4 fenders rolled even though it was only the back that rubbed. Hope this helps!

It's ok some people love the tips and some people hate them. I like the way it looks, I don't know why they look so small in pictures because each tip is 3 inches in diameter. They have more of a functional purpose though, It takes out the shins of pedestrians that get to close to the ride LMFAO j/k.

wow that red crx looks nice with thise rims!! thanks for the help so far guys still cant figure out what im going to do.
I have 17" RH CP8R's in Black with 205/40/17 P7000s. I don't have a problem with acceleration and they don't rub. My fenders aren't even rolled and I have camber kits front and rear. If you want pics I will post them.



Sticks out too far
