I have a set of 14X6" rims that were given to me just lying around in my garage and I need to buy tires for them to use on autocross weekends. I want to order them soon from Tireack but I need to know if I can order the 205's or do I need to stick with the 195's. I'm buying the Kumho Victoracers by the way.

 

The ITR folk have been putting 205's on their stock 6" rims for a long time.

 

205 or even 225 will fit just fine.

 

Well if you say 225's will fit, then I guess I should go with the biggest one for better grip right? Where can I get a set of 225's? I was going to go with the Victoracers but I think the largest that they come in for a 14X6" is 250. I could be wrong; Ill double check.

 

tirerack.com should have a list of available sizes. I know toyo makes both a 205 and 225/xx/14 in their RA-1 tire. (tirerack doesnt sell toyo, btw).

 

Is there another tire option that will yield good results? I was originally sticking with either the Victoracers or the Azenis. Feedback as to which I should go with will be much appreciated .

Oh yet I forgot to ask if a 14" rim is good or bad? I just plan on using them because A: I have them and B: I thought that a 6" rim would be fine. Am I wrong for assuming this?

 

If you already had them, then go ahead and use 'em

What will they be used for and whats your experience?

 

It also depends on what car you are running them on. I don't think something like the 225s will fit on a stock(unmodified fenders) CRX or 4th gen hatchback.

 

I'll be running them on my 1999 Si. I have the stock 15's right now that I use w/ 195's. I've been autocrossing for 1 year now. I'm running in SM because of the modifications to my car.

 

I'd use the victoracers in 205.

If you can find a set of cheap 15" stock integra wheels, you can often pick up a set of 205/50/15 r-tires pretty cheap (used of course).

 

a 205 will stick almost as well as a 225 on a 6in wheel, but the 205 will wear a lot better.

 

So in your guys opinion, either the 15" or 14" will work fine with the 205's. Not to get technical and all but if I can find a set of 215's, they might work out a little better.

P.S. If I'm running in the SM class will I be able to use the 14" rims? Will using them change my class?

 

wheel size is open in SM
