I want Rota Slipstreams for my 99 si, which ones would be better and what is the recommended tire size. Thanks in advance.

15 x 7.0 +35
-or-
15 x 6.5 +40

 

i'd probably go with the 15x6.5 et40's and use a 195/55/15 on them.

Thanks, but can you give me a reason why? I'm not challenging you, I'm just not too familiar with wheel/tire stuff.

I recommended that because with the 15x7 et35 will come out towards the fenders more, I'm not 100% but they may come out a little too far and if your lowered you may get some rubbing on the car.

 

For the Honda, the Slipstreams come in 15x7 w/ a +40mm offset, or 15x6.5 w/ a +40mm offset.

Usually, if you don't plan on tracking the car/driving it hard, the 15x6.5's will be adequate. If you feel like you need that extra half inch of width on your track/you want to run wider tires, then the 7" width is for you.

The 15x7's also cost slightly more than the 15x6.5's (something else to consider, although it's almost a negligible amount).

 

I would rather run a tire closer to a 205 / 50 / 15

the Rota website says the 7" are 35mm offset and the 6.5" are 40mm
