Don't know about the RE001, but the 195/50/15 RE01R is very wide, too wide for standard 6" rims in my opinion. The numbers on the sidewall are like women's clothing sizes; meaningful when compared relatively, but a far cry from absolute.

Standard size for the Integra's is 195/55/15. Going for a smaller profile will reduce the total diamater a little bit. For an EG hatch 50 profile might be best.

195/55/r15

i would go either 195/50/r15 or 195/55/r15 depending if u want a lower profile look.

out of those two what are the lower profile?? Sorry noob question but tyre sizes have always confused me! I have an EM1 an want to put little 15s on it and unsure as what tyres to put on.

Go 205/50/15 if you want more grip since it's wider but it usually cost a little more
correct me if i'm wrong but i think the em1 and the fat five is 15x6. not sure if there's any issue putting these tyre size on these rims. but you can ask any tyre place i guess.

else you can go 195/55/15 as the other stated.

^^ +1 for the 205/50/15
rockin potenza g3s at the front.. grippy as =) - in the dry that is... wet is another story... fatter tyres = worse as theyre prone to aquaplane more than skinnier tyres...
id recommend 195/50 to stay within the error bounds, 195/55 is higher profile throws off ur speedo a little more..

95accord:the first number determines how wide they are..
the lower the 2nd number the lower the profile.. (ie for a 195/55R15 - 55 means 55% of the first number 195 in tyre height/profile)

wow man very helpful thanks!!

195/50 will have least percentage change to your speedo as its closest to standard overall tyre circumference.
optimal 195/50 rim width is 7" i think
