i need some tires help

[92accord ex]

i picked up some 15" xxr 002, my cb7 is lowered 2.2 in the front and 2 in the back. i was thinking about goin 205/55/15. not sure if 205/50/15 or 205/55/15 or 205/60/15. what do you think?

Are these the wheels with 0 offset, and 8in wide?

Yes they are, and a 205 tire is pathetic for a 8inch wheel. For god's sake man, get some meat on those wheels!

If you really have to have tire stretch, 205/55/15 would give you the closest to stock diameter. 205/50/15 is a civic size.

Look at my car under beginner image gallery. I have the same wheels with 205/50/15 they stick out but I like it. I will get coilovers and a Camber kit soon though.

is that the biggest tire your can run on a 15 rim without rubbing, with a drop?

[jdmwannabee]

lower your car more.

this is a 195 45 15 on an 8" wheel


this is a 195 50 15 on an 8" wheel

I say go for the stretch look!
imo that just gives the car a really nice stance when lowered right

I got some 5th gen accord wheels and I need some times what would look good on these rims there powder coated white let me know what you think thanx

So the tire stretch concept is new to me, is there any reason beyond cosmetic for doing this?

Not trying to flame just curious.

^ To my knowledge, there is absolutely no performance aspect to stretching tires. I believe it's purely cosmetic, and that it can actually dock performance, and cause premature tire wear.

Don't quote me on it though.

I had 205/55/15 on my accord and was dumped. I had to roll my fenders cause my all four corners were rubbing. But if you want to avoid rolling your fenders i would go with 195/50/15. Just my opinion though.

I'm not a big fan of crazy offset but if ur going to do it u need to have that stretched tyre look...205 50 sounds about right
