Default Largest tire question.

What's the largest width I can have on 16x7" rims with an offset of 40mm having a sport drop without having the wheel touch the wheel bay when fully cranked?

i'd guess 205/45R16 b/c of the 40offset. Might be able to fit 215/45R16 but that's gonna be really close to the fenders, esp since you're lowered.

To be rub free, I'd have to agree with yoshi on the 205's. If you had a 45mm or 50mm offset, you could possibly get away with the 215's.
My 16x7's 50mm offset with 215x45 will sometimes rub at full lock (I'm also lowered with H&R Sports).

Yeah! Origionaly from Santa Cruz California. The only model of Integras here is the type r. Anyway, I'll stick with the 205s due to the laws here.

I will read up on this but how do you like the H&R sports springs? Anything better?

Sorry for the n00b questions. I've been educating myself so please be gentle. Thanks!
