Default thoughts on a 215 or 225 tire size

Ok i got my crx lowered on 16x7 tsw Apexi rim with falken 205/40/16, the tires are bald on the front (due to camber or alinement idk) if you look straight at the tire it look like the side walls are slanting in like this /----\, it looks pretty stupid so i wanna go with a wider tire, does anyone have experiece with a 215 or a 225 on a CRX

I guess I was suppose to use my ESP powers to tell that you were already getting a camber kit... Since you mentioned nothing about that and all..

205 is really as big as you can go. 225s are what Supras have, no way your getting that on a Civic and having it work for ****.

225's have been done plenty of times... go check out the forced induvtion forum

id say 215's would be the best all around for your wheel size though. if you got too big the sidewalls bow out and will make your handling a little sloppy

I'd imagine those were big fronts for drag racing purposes. I can't imagine anyone running a tire that wide on the street, you would need like an 8'' rim.

You have your answer. If you are looking for someone to just say what youwant to hear. Fine.

Get them. They'll fit. These are not the droids you are looking for.
