205's would have been great on 7" rims but didn't want to go that far from the original diameter . the 195's were just under the original ,
but the 205 50's would be a little too small . definitely didn't want to go taller than stock with the 205 55's . the 195's on the wider rims
have a lot grip

 

I'm planning on getting 195/55/16's.

Wouldn't 205's have rubbing issues?

 

Does gutting out all the interior count as a mod? 😆

 

‘Im running 205 55/16 on 16x7; what ever the recommended offset is, on stock suspension. It only rubs on the passenger front ; that tire sticks out more than the other by like 5mm probably due to previous accident, when I hit a drop on the highway at high speed on the way to work. Other than that, no issues.


Now that I think about it, I could use a fender roll on that side to avoid that completely when I get coilovers, more mods to come I guess.

 

i've got the AEM filter , and the medallian exhast in my '19 LX . the shocks and struts are stock but i have a sway bar in the rear along with upper and lower chassis braces , front and rear .
the braces do an amazing thing for the ride and handling , definitely worth it , i can live without lowering the car . the tanabe upper brace does work even without directly connecting the
shock towers . if you take look under the windshield you'll see that sheet metal goes across , connecting the shock towers . the tanabe bar stiffens this expanse even further . i felt
the difference as soon as i took it for a drive , even at low speeds . the steering is really hooked up .the rims are 15" / 7" , 40 deg. offset , along with 195/55 tires , works great .
