Opinions on 15x7 on 195/50/15
Very interesting, do you have any pictures with a side view of your rims and car? That would be pretty helpful!
So, I am currently thinking about another issue. Only Toyo offers my prefered tire size (205/45/15) here but the tire does only have load index 81 (462 kg load). Honda recommends 82 over here. Do you think this will be a problem? The car weighs 1,111 kg (max 1,510 kg) and load per axle is 800 kg and 730 kg, respectively. In terms of figures, that shouldn't be a problem, I think?!

i have some picts in my album page. check it out.
Thanks for your explanation. The wheel should be lighter due to light weight rims and smaller tires. Another guy from a Honda shop told me the same, so the idea for better performance shouldn't be completely wrong.

Unless your inspection and licensing will not accept any tire construcytion less than 82 I cannot believe you will have a problem unless the 81 spec is only S or T rated or less.

yah, but i would also calculate how hard you're going to drive those tires. im sure the tires can probably handle it but you're outside their spec.
like a week old egg from its expiration date... you can probably
eat them np, but only at your own risk.

I think I will really use the tires, but at the end of the day, I can only rely on figures, numbers and the load index.
I thought I'd chime in here as I just changed my shoes today. I'm droped on Skunk2 springs. Previously I had a set of Konig Daylites in 15x6.5 with a +41 ET running Toyo T1R's in 190/50/15, which had no rubbing issues whatsoever. I just switched my shoes today to some Rota Grids in 15x7 with a +38 ET, same tires (only 5k miles on them) and I'm happy to report that I've observed absolutely no rubbing issues throughout the day, that inclues climbing diagonally up some curbs, spirited driving, lock to lock test and going over large bumps on the highway.
Good luck!
Good luck!
To be perfectly honest my first set of shoes where some Konig Feathers in 15x6.5 with +38 running Toyo Proxes 4 in 190/50/15 and back when my car was brand new they lightly scrubbed away at the top most big square clip in the front wheel wells. They are LONG GONE, I replaced them with a flat style plastic clip that has been working pretty well. Thats the only spot where I would see any sort of rubbing if you still have that large clip on there but its very easily fixed.
I don't haves pics right now since I mounted them yesterday but I'll try and get some up during the weekend, the look is very sick with the front tire practically sitting flush with the lip of the wheel well, very aggressive stance. And the offset makes the face of the wheel a bit concave wich is added style points in my book.
