[G-Stick]

hi guys i was wondering if 205/40/17 are illegal on my dc2. coz i heard somewhere( some tyre shop that i was illegal for my car) just wanted to clear things up b4 i buy some new tyres.

cheers

just make sure ur tyre load rating is suffice.

wat do u mean? sorry for the noobness :(

[Zdster]

Not really sure that it is that noob - so I will move it to wheels/suspension.


Speak with a number of different tyre shops and get a range of opinions.

In reference to load ratings see my 'new to modding' thread at the top of the noob section :thumbsup:.

im liking this CRX'er.

But yeah ~ should be ok. I run 215/40/17 and havent had any issues whatsoever on my DC2

[G-Stick]

ive got 215/40/17 on atm but iam asking about 205/40/17.

[TECDUP]

its pretty much the same as what you got, i got 205/17/40 on my front and 215/17/40 on the back...the only diff is that the 215 is 10 mm wider than the 205
i am pretty sure its perfectly legal, i never had troubles with my dc2

[Domokun SPL]

the miata one is shit, use www.1010tires.com

[yourfather]

wtf man, if you're running 215 don't you think going 1cm less is going to make shit all difference.

when i got my car in january, it came with new tyres...215 on the front and 205 on the back, i found that when i had any more than 2 people in the car that the front tyres rubbed on the inside of the arch at full lock (my car is lowered) so to fix this problem i switched the rear wheels with the front and now have 205 front and 215 rear...no rubs

[G-Stick]

thats wat iam trying to get with my fronts too. thanks alot TECDUP will try to get 205 in the fronts

[TECDUP]

its cool dude, just glad i can help where i have also had the same prob ;)

[shebangs]

So 205's are fine on a DC2 without any scraping or hard accelerating and corners?

I heard 195 was the biggest without running into problems.

[TECDUP]

my 205's run perfect...no rubs nothing
any bigger and you will have problems

yeah sure, but I have 215 and I get rubbing on the back. So, obviously offset effects this too.

well i dont know my offset, i just put my wheels on like normal, just standard offset i spose...

[krogoth]

i got 195mm width, 17" diameter wheels on my civic

thats illegal rite? in every bloody respect

[yourfather]

no, it's not width that is the issue, it is rim height, like 17 inches.

[iced]
