largest tire size you can fit on an integra?

2001 ls
currently the stock 195 55 15 michelins

 

I am currently rolling on 205/50/15's (Dunlop SP SportA2's - pretty good all season tire) on stock mesh wheels (99 GS sedan). This setup works nicely IMO - but then again anything is an improvement over the Michelins.

 

yeah i bought the car used and it had the michelins on, still hes them at 38000 miles, all i can say is ew


so what is a good recommended size other than stock?

 

i am running konig 16's and there pretty good. to answer your question, i wouldnt put anything larger than 16" on an integra. unless you want them only for looks

 

agreed, but tire size, any recommendations?

 

if i remember correctly i may be running brigestone 205/55/16....not really sure though. these are the tires the car came with and i havent really looked at the size too much

 

205/55-16 would be way too tall.

If you're sticking with the stock 15" wheels you can go from the stock 195/55-15 size to 205/50-15 but that's about it.

Here's a site that lets you compare overall diameters of different tire sizes: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

 

I have seen guys run 225/50/15 on stock 6" wheels, although it depends on the tire itself (compound, sidewall strength, actual width, etc). Also depends on what exactly you are trying to improve...ie straight line acceleration, quick response, handling characteristics, etc.

I would say 205/50 is a good general compromise with the tires that we tend to consider.

 

I ran 205/40-17 for a while. Not enough tire though at all. I bent two of the rims in potholes.

I'm running 205/50-15's now (Falken Azenis)

 

205/45R16s on my DC4. I went with Nitto NT450s at the time I purchased my rims, but I'll switch to the Toyo Proxes line when these die - while the Nitto grip levels are high, they could give better feedback and tramline a bit less IMO.
