Have slip's 16x7 with 215/45/16's on my 94 dx coupe. Running GC coils with 450 front/ 550 rear. -1.75 camber front and -1 camber rear, 0 toe front/rear. Run them now for about 2 years with no problems. Run stx local. Front is close to tucked, get a finger between the tire and the fender. Alittle more gap on the rear, maybe a finger and 1/2.

Well I would like to try a little experiment with these tires instead of buying a whole new set and finding out it's wrong.

Back at the end of 2001 I got 215/45x16" Azenis on my 16x7.5 Kosei K1s. The car wasn't dropped as much and I didn't have a whole lot a negative camber. It rubbed like mad and I sold the tires to a friend.

Now I'm seeing guys in the 2.5RS running these tires and doing very well. My car is on the 205/50x15" of course and I'm watering these tires down to the point I'm heading out on course with wet tires to keep them cool. The lighter cars can use the 205s to the fullest potential, whereas I'm thinking my Porky Pig 6th Gen Civic Si is just too heavy for the tires.

So I was brainstorming about maybe trying a bit wider. Get the tire shaved so it doesn't kill the gearing as bad a full tread. But I would like to try them first before diving headfirst. Anyone in the PA/NJ/MD area I could try yours?
