Just got some rims (95 GSR "Fat Fives") for my 90 CRX
It came with rubbers 205/50/15, haven't put them on yet.
Will they look too big for the Rex??
Should I get a 195/50/15??

 

why doncha pop em on and see?

 

195/50/15 or 205/50/15 are the only sizes you should go with. If I were to choose between the two, I'd go with 195 if it's available in your tire choice.

 

if ya got the money, buy some 195's. if not run the 205's for a while

 

why wouldn't you wanna go the wider tire? why would 195's be better?I got 16inch rims with 45/205 tires and they look good from the back nice and wide looking and lots of rubber to concrete contact

I think (just using logic) that wider tires would cause more tire roll and cause much flex in the wall of the tire. Kind of like rolling around on balloons, just imagine the tire rolling all around. Plus, i forget the exact size of the gsr's but i'm sure they are less than 6.5 wide. A 205 would be more suitable on a 7 in width. I'm assuming your 16's are 16x7 and would explain why you would not have any problems with 205 tires. 205's will still fit 6.5 in rims, but 195 is better. Also, if you are drag racing then you dont need to worry too much about tire roll, just contact to the street.
