i have an dc2 ITR but have the original 16" wheels from the dc5 ITR on my car. could someone with a dc5 ITR tell me what tyre size you got on yours?
not good...i reckon i got the wrong size (205/45/16) on now. i think they are suppose to be 205/55/16. anyone know?
are you sure???
according to this spec sheet they are the 205/55/16:

i believe you im just making sure.
does it depend on the wheel or the car?
oh sorry, from that site it looks like its 55.
my bad!
im so confused now. i was pretty sure they were 205/45/16 as well until i saw that site.
the reason i thought they might be wrong is cus the inside of my tyres are really worn (i know i need new tyres) but they also dont seem to fit smoothly over the inside of the wheel. thats why i though 55 instead of 45.
is it the angle the wheel sits at? anyone know or am i just crazy?
if the inner tyre is being worn it means u have a neg camber. get a camber kit.
always thought ti was 205/45 also but just checked with frend with dc5r and he said 55. :D
But I think if you put the DC5 wheels on DC2 you will porbably need to put a smaller profile tire..
Coz the originals on DC2 are 195/55/15
when you upgrade the wheel size the profile needs to be reduced to keep the same diameter so I would say that 205/45/16 should be the right tire size for DC2
this is how it would look like...hope that answers ur question...definitely needs a lower profile tyre

stock size is 205/55/16, i have a dc5r with stock tyres still and thats the size. as some others have said a lower profile is probably advisable.
the size is more to do with the car than the rim
i got DC5R, so do i replace the tires with 205/55/16? because i got my type r 2nd hand, not sure what the stock tires was. and i keep see different numbers on different post, so can someone clarify for me please.
for any car, If your not sure what size to use, or what size is stock, check the tyre placard.
it should be on the driver side of the car when you open the door, has the size and everything to do with the car when it comes to the wheels and tyres.
if its not there check the passenger side door sill and if its not there then the sticker's definitely stuck up in the glovebox
For DC2R 205/45 with 16 inch rims is correct. Your tyre size is fine. :thumbsup:Quote:

You can use what ever tyre size you want... as long as they fit... it's just that your speedo will be out, and your car will handle like shit.
See this... http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
Given that stock DC2R tire size is 195/55/15, and all stock DC2R speedos read slightly higher (2-3%) than REAL speed... it would be better to run 205/50/16 tires.
If anyone wants stock DC5R rims and tyres PM me! Just got my new boots on today
offtopic: Oconner... you might wanna fix your sig up... its 8 POT and 6POT... not spot
Thanks :thumbsup::thumbsup:Quote:

I wouldnt go to a lower profile with stock suspension as it would look like too much of a gap... I also wouldnt go to a 55 series as I think (not sure) that might hit the wheel arches, especially on the front when turning.....

so will a 215/45/15 fit on the stock dc2r rims? or is 215 too wide?
your able to run 215/45 tyres on the dc5 rims without any issues on the dc2r
i know they will be ok on the dc5 rims as they ar 16inch. i need to know abt the dc2 rims which are 15.
try jdm tyres spec - 215/45/16
Get yourself 215/45/16 they are very expensive and not many tyre manufactures make them but they are the the size you get for your DC2R, I paid $250.00 each tyre.
215 is way to wide. I find even 205's are too wide. I'd go 195.Quote:
