Looking at the closeouts on the SSR wheels. Wondering if the SSR's come in 16x7? 6.5 is not going to cut it.

 

why wouldn't 6.5 inch wide rim cut it?

i guess he wants to run something bigger then a 205 series tire?

 

come on.

on my brother's crown vic, he had 15x6.5 rims.

on the front, he had 205-50-15. on the back, he had 295-50-15. it IS possible to mount wide, or skinny, tires on rims.

 

man 295? talking about crazy rim protection hahaha

 

lol. i'll look for pix. this was a few years ago

 

You should be able to use 205's just fine with 16x6.5 according to Tire Rack.

 

I am running a 205 tire on my 6.5 wide rim. Its the same amount of contact path. Doubt you will go wider than a 205 tire.

 

I want to run a 215.45.16. I didnt look at what was for sale from the previous gen civic. Thought about that today...
Ill get back to this one...

 

people has to stop using donut tyres. sidewall flex is no good.

215 is too wide, you will rub like crazy, especially if lowered.

 

how about good suspension components, and a good bit of camber if you "need" that kind of traction

 

Swift springs, sway bars, and bushings before wheels and tires.
