my factory size is 195/55/15, but im looking into getting some 16" rims that were used, but the tire size is 195/50/16, it should be ok correct??? no rubbing on the inner walls or anything?

 

Yeah that should be fine as long as the bolt pattern is fine.. You might want to research the offset of the rims your buying, it's fairly important.

 

got it, the ones im looking at are 16" enkeis

 

I guess I'll post more information for you, might as well give you some knowledge.

If you don't already know what the numbers are..

First number: 195 = Width of the tyre in millimeters

Second number: 55 or 50 = How high the sidewall of the tyre is, it's a percentage of the WIDTH. So 55% of 195 or 50% of 195, ok?

Third number: Wheel (rim) size, 15 = 15 inches.. 16 = 16 inches.. and so on.


As long as your tyre meets the rim width and height.. ie.. 195/*/16 tyre.. on a 195/*/16 wheel (rim) you're good to go as long as the bolt pattern and spacing are the same.

 

Be a little more specific and I'll give you some more information.

 

i wish i could, the guys has not replied me yet, as soon as he does i will give more info for sure, realli need tires and rims..lol mine are so bald, gas mileage is getting worse also

 

(Its universal 4 pattern. As long as they are 4 bolts, it should fit. Width of the rim is 195. Hope this helps) thats all he gave me when i asked whats the offset LOl

 

Remember our tegs use a 4x100 bolt pattern. So just be aware to make sure its not 4x114 or something

 

yea for sure, just trying to find out what car he had it on previously, and ill probably ask for it to get put on then pay him, safest way

 

The width of the tire can vary. The diameter of the tire is what you want to keep the same. You want to keep it as close to the stock diameter as possible.

 

Bring a jack and test fit on your own car before you buy them. Most people upgrade to a 205 when they upgrade to 16". A little more grip won't hurt.

 

Might have to worry about rubbing without a spacer. Integras only fit thin tires.. compared to most others.

And from what you've told us about the rims, they should fit fine. Just as vida said.. make sure the bolt pattern is 4x100.. not 4x114.3 .. or whatever it is

 

Keep in mind that if youre lowered, the specs will be more and more important cuse you'll rub more in certain areas depending on the tire size.

 

thanks guys your all alot of help, i think i will probably ask to take it to my shop to put them on and try it out, but its got the 4x100 bolt pattern and the 4x114.3

 

If its 4 bolt universal you shouldnt have a problem. youre good to go !

 

sweettt!! thanks pretty excited now first set of rims, and my first intake in my car i put on today, with the AEM filter sounds nice and the car feels alot better then when i had my stock one on

 

Time to lower the CAR!!!!!!

 

yea ur right about that, i did notice that my stock gsr suspension is not that bad, it has a very decent ride , and the height is not bad, alot of ppl complain about it being to low and what not but i think its nice, it just clears the curb when i open the door , im thinking about lowering it since shocks are not to pricey, but i heard its bad for ur stock shocks if u just change to lowering springs

 

if you are on a stock suspension set up you can fit 17" 205/55/17 that't what i had on my N/A setup and they fit no problem and never rubbed but once you get lowered you are gonna make sure what tires and rims you get so you don't rub I think 16" are okay to a certain drop and then they might rub.

 

205/55/17 is way to big of a tire to run. recommended spec should be 205/40/17 or 225/35/17

 

My bad sorry I do have 205/40/17

 

thanks guys, one more thing vtec for a 94 gsr, hits at 5500rpm or 4400???

I'm using 205/50/16 on stock height it it rubs a little when you do a u-turn, turning to the right. 195/50/16 should be ok.
