Default Widest tires for a gsr?

What is the widest tires a gsr can take before needing to roll the fenders? Don't say search because I already tried. I search under widest, wider, width, wide tires, integra tires, integra rims, integra wheels, integra width, etc. so on and so forth. Anyone that knows please lemme know!

dont get them. they suck. the wall on those tires are sooooooooooo soft i've always had azenis on my rims but they are on backorder for 2 months at my shops tire dealer. so i got es100 because i heard good things about them. the only thing i admit is that they are really quiet.....but who cares. road racers care only about gripping characteristics on tires, not how loud they are. they suck compared to azenis.

actually they're pretty good when you campare them to other tires in thier class. i think their 2 times better then the Kumho Supra's that i had. and 4 times better then the Nitto 450's!! Softer side walls will give you better launches, but its obvious that the azenis have much more rubber on the ground the then es100's..soo in the end the azenis will have more grip--but the azenis are heavy and suck *** in the rain.!! Something that you might want to consider besides dry grip.

what you could do (besides having 2 sets of wheels) you can have ES100's on two wheels and Azenis's on the two other wheels..then switch them as needed...when it rains put the es100 in front then when you wanna drag put the azenis in front..but if your gonna autox then you should use all the same tires. ..or if you have tons of money then you can buy 2 sets of wheels..one with Yokohama A032R's on one set and Yoko AVS Sports on the others....

The offset for my wheels is kind of hard to guesstimate because of the knock off adapters. The markings on the wheel say **50** for the 4 front wheels that I use and **42** for the 2 rear wheels eventhough they seem to be different. One of these days I get off of my butt and measure the damn things.

yeah i know i heard that its a great all tire but i thought the sidewalls would be stiffer. i dont drag race at all so i think im going to get azenis again. cant handle my tires buckling all the time when when i go canyon carving. anyone want to buy brand new 205-50-15 es 100? i bought them 6-11-03. or trade for azenis with good tread??? cant stand it!!!! pm me.
