What size rims?
I want to improve my traction and handling and was wondering how wide of a 16 inch rim will work on a GSR with minimal rubbing. What size wheels and tires are you guys running?
Currently the car is lowered 1.5 inches but I might install Type R springs because I I think the car is a little low.

I was running 215.40.16 then 205.40.16's and they were pretty cool. Lowered 2.5-3" in front and 2-2.5" in back and it handled alright. Now, I raised the car about 1.5 inches all around and it handles muuuuch better with 195/60/14 azenis

If you do something that takes advantage of that. It might be worth .2 seconds on an autox course if you are good enough.
A sticker smaller tire will be better than a heavier tire. Azenis for instance only come in 215/45/16 which will be heavier and change your gearing. A 205/50/15 Azenis would be a better choice.

Re: What size rims? (raceinspired)
16x7 205/45/16 is perfect for an average dropped G3
Also keep in mind unless you car is slammed a 40 series looks silly imo on a g3, theres just to much gap and the wheels look tiny. The 45 series gives it a meaty look, while fitting nicely in your wheel well. Also you don't have to worry about bent rims every other month
50 series= way to big Cough 4x4

I am trying to justify new rims.
If I want more performance should I run 225/50/15 (wider tire) Yokohama AVS ES100 tires or
Get some 16's and run 215/45/16?
Two things, don't need rims and the tires for 16's are more expensive. I just want more perforamance??? Currently running 205/50/15 Azenis on stock rims.

if you just want improved performance, get some cheap light 15x7 rims, and use those tires on them.
