depends on the width and offset of your wheels as well as what type of driving you will be doing.

I know that the tire size I am looking at will not throw the speedo off by more than 5mph. The width of the wheel will be atleast 7 inches. I'm thinking the offset would be a commonly seen offset for an EG hatch.

Driving style is drag..but the car will be a daily driver.

get some 225 for daily driver and 255 for drag

 

I run 215/45/16 on my hatch (EK) for road racing... I thought I was going to be assed out with the new Azenis, but Falken just released a 215 and a 225 to compliment the 205.

I think the 225 was a 225/50/16, but I am not sure what type of rims you want to run 15 or 16. I love my 16's and I love my Azenis...

Where did you find 225/50/16 in Azenis? I haven't been able to find them.

The only thing I don't like about Azenis is that they are quite heavy.

I saw them advertised in the new Super Street, the one with the 850hp S2 on the front...

I will see if I can find someone who sells them.

They are a great road race tire. When i let the instructor at my last track event drive my car he was surprised, he said the car felt just like his car which was riding on R comps... the matching 32mm sways may have made a little difference...

 

205/50R15

here are the 215's

Maybe I should double check my mag I could have swore it said 225/50/16

 

I would want to run a 225/50R15 with that setup since you get a bigger contact patch which is always good. Alot of people have said that a 225 width tire will rub, in which case i would just go with a 205/50R15.
Do you guys a 225 width tire will rub???

My 215/45/16's rub slightly at full lock, and they rubbed on my fenders a little till I rolled them...

Damn that sucks. Prolly better to just go with a 205/50R16 or a 205/50R15 depending on the size wheel you want to go with.

Rubbed in the front or the back? I had my RSX-S fenders rolled for the wheel/tire combo I had on it and I don't know if I want to do it to this one. I was going to get the tires you are talking about wrapped around a set of Rota Circuit 8's. Best setup I could think of since I can't find any STICKY 225mm wide tires that fit a 16" wheel.

 

Anyone know what offset wheel I should get?

I am getting 16" Rota Circuit 8's and I'm trying to run a 225/45/16 BFG drag radials.

They rubbed in the front and teh back. But just a little and only when i hit a bump or something, they only rubbed on the outside of the tire kind on the sidewall. The front barely rub at full lock, I have a dime sized spot on the inside of the tire well where it rubbed off the lining at full lock.

I don't think you are going to be able to get away with anything really big without a little rolling of teh fenders..

 

If I can get away with 225mm wide tires with a certain offset wheel and rolled fenders then I don't mind. Any idea what offset I would need? I don't even know the average offset that people put on EG's. I had an RSX-S and I'm new to the honda world.

 

I think my K1's are +40 or +44mm. i think have seen +35 up to +45 i can't rememebr anything bigger than that.

I went through all of this about a year ago when I did my 5 lug swap. I think anything in the +40's would be alright, but don't just listen to me i am just going off of my memory which is not all that great...

 

atually my wheels are +43mm just check tirerack.com

I decided on 225/50/15 BFG Drag Radials in the front. They came in today. Once I get the wheels in and the swap done I'll be able to let everyone that may ask this question in the future know the answer to it. :dance:
