I've seen some people talk about having 225's width on a Euro, even some people have them.

Do you think you'd be able to get say 225/50/16 on the stock alloys?
or would i have to make the jump to 17" and a lower profile to get 225?

And if you have 225's does it effect your turning circle? do the tyres hit the side etc?

I'm looking around and have been thinking about wider tyres for awhile, before lowering the car.

There are many people who has upgraded their wheels to 17 or 18 inch, they certainly have wider rims, and definitely wider tyres. I don't think that will be a problem.
My bro (different car) upgraded 225/50/R16 (previously the tyre is the same with my car), and doesn't have any problem fitting it to the current rim (same size & width as mine).

thanks for the feedback, might go tyre shopping now, or at least burn up mine or something

how did it go?
this is on the integra dc5, but my friend has the Bridgestone G3 in 225/50R16 and he said it feels a bit too wide for the car...
the car feels like it rolls more...

so don't really know if that applies to you or not...

I'm using 225/35/R19 and its lowered on my car and it doesn't hit the sidewall. (But then the back i have to extend the guard if i want to lower it even further).

But yeah 225 tyres shouldn't be a problem at all...
