Does anybody roll on this size tire? I need a new set of tires to correct a bad offset on my rims, but i think this might be too skinny. Pics and info please

 

Get 205/45/16. That is what most people roll on. They are the closest to stock that you can get.

 

yea, i have that size right now, but i can't slam my car w/o rubbing. I am thinking that getting the 205/40 and rolling my fenders will do the job. Does anybody have real life pictures of this size tire on integras?

 

How much of a slam? Mine is lowered at least 2 inches, and they don't rub at all.

 

my rims have a +35mm offset, and I like to really lower the car, like 3.5 inches. With no negative camber the tires are basically touching the fenders at a height like that.

Why the hell would you want to lower it that far?!?

Because it looks good

Set the camber to about -1.5 to -1.8 or so. You can easily run that and have little to no tire wear problems, if the toe is set exactly to factory specs, and you rotate tires often. That might give you a little extra fender clearance.

I guess I'm not a fan of the super-dropped look with the tires tucked inside the fenders -- I'm a fan of a "1 finger width" gap between the tire and fender.

performance &gt; appearance, IMHO.

If you dig it, more power to you

Thats why they invented coilovers bud, you get to move the height of your car up and down as much as you please. It's a really interesting concept, who would have ever thought you could change the ride height of your car??!?@? (sarcasm)

thanks for the info, im going to try that out

 

I would go with 205/45's They'll give you a slightly better ride. I'm not impressed with my 205/40's.

 

I have that size tire with c8's on my integra. I bent one rim when the were on a 89 hatchback. I think it was cause there were not enough cushion with 40 series tires. thewrefor making it easy to bend lightweight rims.

If you adjust coilover height w/o getting an alignment, you will eat your tires to pieces. When the ride height changes, both camber AND toe-in are affected. You should set it to the height you like (possibly even corner-weight the car to get the most out of it), get an alignment, and leave it there. If you need to raise it for winter, get it aligned again for that. It's usually a good idea to get the alignment checked about every 6 months or so anyway, especially if you're like me and running -2.3 deg. camber in front w/o camber kit.

 

up, does anybody have any pictures of these series tires on 16 inch rims?

 

this just came to mind, does halfing less sidewall improve or decrease handling?
