G_Loc · 11-03-2008, 09:27 PM

Yup. Running 225/50's here. Lowered ~1.2" and they don't rub

stamen · 11-03-2008, 09:28 PM

G_Loc · 11-03-2008, 09:37 PM

Springs and factory wheels

Ah, can't help you with that drop or wheel size, maybe someone else can chime in...

spin_r_g · 11-03-2008, 10:59 PM

You can't fit any tire no matter the size if you have no offset on your wheels. No offset = 0mm.

This FAQ will be your friend:

Recommended Prelude Wheel/Tire Fitment

You can usually find your wheel's offset by looking on the inside of the wheel somewhere, if you don't already know it.

how the heck do you drive that car jared ?? how low are you?? does it rub?

95greenlude · 11-06-2008, 08:00 AM

^ the tires only rubbed on larger bumps. but i do scrape everywhere i go! Even on the little road reflectors lol

95greenlude · 11-08-2008, 08:03 AM

^thats the only thing about them. They were 225's on a 6.5" wheel. You can definatly feel some sidewall flex. Though they would fit differently on a 7" wheel

If you rubbed with 215/45s you'll rub even more with a 225/45 as the width is even wider and the over all diameter is taller.

Edul59 · 11-11-2008, 11:49 PM

^ but it wasnt a rub that happened all the time just on those special occasions when i took on the drive way fast and turning the wheel to its full potential. plus is was just the inner liner getting chewed up...oh freaking well.

My personal choice for daily driving on wet or dry roads will be 225/45R-16 BFG KDW's with the new pattern on 16"x7" rims with 45-50mm's of offset.

When my 'Lude is finished I plan on autocrossing and going to more track days. For track days and autocrossing some Toyo Proxes R888 225/45/16 on 16"x7.5" rims with about 50mm of offset.

As soon as it gets cold some 195/60-15 or stock sized snow tires on stock rims will go on if I don't keep one of my Jeeps.
