Default How wide can I go on stock suspension?

Looking to get some new tires, whats the widest before rubbing and safest before the tire rubs?

i'd say 225 is the safest widest you can go but some people are running up to 245? i don't know how though.

I've tried yokohama avid 4 for my old prelude 3rd gen. It was good until the car got stolen :angry:

Anyway, I am going to buy avid 4 tires again when my current crappy BF godowich runs out of rubber. Seems to get pretty good reviews from Tirerack.com

It really depends on ur Lude. I've heard of people runnin 225s with no problem, and others say their 225s rub. I got 215s on my 18" rims and they're perfect. Hope this helps even a lil bit. Let us know what you decide to do.
