6ul 205/50/15 Federal RSR or AD08

[quang]

Hi Everyone,
just a quick one, has anyone had any scrubbing issues with the Federal RSR or AD08 on a EK civic with 15x8 +36 6ULs?

I'm aware that the RSR does have a wider tyre than what is listed I.e. 205 RSR runs more like a 215/225 profile.

I'm about to get tyres just don't want to end up having to change them because the tyre srucbs.

Thanks

I run 205 50 15 rsr on my 15x8 6ul, on an eg but they fit easy!

Also should add no guard rolling has been done only 1 deg neg camber.
Lil_foy, how low is your car? and how are the rears? do they scrub?

[lil_foy]

You'll probably need to roll the rears, Front should clear fine.

I run 13mm spacer front and 5mm spacer rear with mine but I run a fair amount of camber for track. Car is low too. No scrubbing but on your setup with rears rolled it will be fine.

Highly recommend rsr's too! Great tyre!

I have 15x8 +36 6UL's with 205/50/15 Federal RSR with no spacers and they fit. Rolled the rear guards but could get away without it I recon, but better to do it and not have chunks missing from your tyre if you come across a big bump.

Height, spoon springs and dampers (I think 30mm lower than DC2R)

How low is your car?

[quang]

My car is 2-2.5 fingers above the tyre. A little higher than yours from the looks of it.
I have scrubbing issues both front and rear. More so on the rear.
This doesn't seems to make sense to me as i know there are other people on here that have no issues at all with their cars dumped.

I currently have 1.5 neg camber at the rear and 0.5 neg camber at the front.

I think its best to get your guards rolled, my rears scrubbed with 15x7+38 6ul's with toyo r888 195/55/15 (on coilovers only) tyres were dirt cheap and leftover thats why the awkward size lol

[quang]

what about the fronts?

[duzy]

front was no problem, i only rolled my rear guards

How do you find the RSR man? Ive had them on the front of my track car for 6 months and they still have plenty of tires, will definitely get them again

Hey sorry, didn't end up going with the RSR's got the AD08's instead. Haven't had the chance to give them a good run yet as car scrubs contrary to everyone elses experience.
But if the RSR's last that long on a track car, i'll probably get them next time, AD08s were expensive.

How much did you get the AD08s for?
And how come people are using 8" rims for 205 tires, I thought 7" was more suited to 205?

[quang]

Got them from tirerack from about 900ish all up then add balancing and fitting on top of that. However, after all the effort i went through it would have been much easier to go to bob jane and get them fitted for 1000-1100.
Nothing wrong with 205 on 8" the AD08 are a little stretched but the sidewall on them is so big that there is lots of rim protection.
Also, correct me if i'm wrong but that little bit of stretch also aids in stiffening the sidewall or something like that sort of like pre-tensioning.

However, i've been able to give them a bit of a go now (scrubbing issues sorted) and these things stick like glue and are uber responsive. :)
