the guy asked if 215 was too wide

maybe my post was tounge-in-cheek, but it doesn't make me wrong. CivicSiRacer is the auto-x god, so its natural he'd get tires that wide... 205's sidewalls sit almost flush with 16x7" rims. 215's might cause a problem on street cars, more specifically, low-sitting street cars (rubbing) but with his ride hight, 215 wouldn't pose much of a problem at all (the only thing I could see is maybe when the wheel is fully turned to either side).

meanwhile, your post had absolutely nothing to do with the thread....

 

Wider is better. Got the tires on today and wow they are wide. NO problems in the front if I remove my 3mm spacer, but on the rear the tires are hitting. So I'm going to have to add more negative camber in the rear.

Definitely feels better, gearing didn't change much and I'm guessing because these tires are almost bald. Definitely have to keep the hands on the steering wheel now because every road imperfection jerks the steering wheel out of my hand.

 

Car is also raised up about 1/8-1/4".

 

Personally I would like to try next year the 225/45x16" tire since it's a 1/2" wider or so than the 215s.

 

what about going down to maybe 40-series?

 

Car is looking really good Mikey. Almost looks Dorifto stylez with the reverse stickers .

 

The tires I am looking only come in 215/40x16" and it's not wider than the 215/45x16" Azenis but the gearing would be better.

 

Very hot man

 

You decals are on backwards:
