TYRE SIZE TO FIT 16x8 +27 ON DC2r?

**tomolicious** · 10-09-2015 06:40 PM

Hey guys, just wondering what tyre size I'd be looking at fitting to wheels that are in the specs stated above, not looking at 'slamming' the car, just want it at an appropriate height probably just under the legal limit.

Bump! It's actually 16x8.5 +27

I'm running 215 45 16 on my 16x8 +32 ssr sp1's on the track

Best bet is 225/45/16 to fit on a dc2r, however 235 would be preferred - however 235's are pushing it on a dc2r.

225's might have a slight stretch, nothing too much nor noticeable. What wheels are they?

Hope that helps

Mates got a set of p1s for sale that I was thinking about buying, slight stretch I'm not stressed as I don't have any intentions of tracking soon, more for guard clearance.

I'm currently lowered slightly in both front and rears, just about the tyre the wheel arch sits. If I decided to run 235s, would they clear my guards or would they fit nicely?

P.s: guards will be rolled if I purchased the wheels.

235s would be pretty wide im assuming on a dc2.

I have 225s on mine (eg though), and its rubbing on rear trailing arms.

235's will definitely be too wide. 215's could do the trick, however 215's tyre options are not cheap.

Best best is 215's, tyres will stretch, but they will allow you to fit the wheels pretty well imo. Seeing as your guards will be rolled, you'll be fine.

I had 205's on a 16x8 +35 and there was slight stretch, however because your wheels are wider and the offset is quite high, 215/45's will be better.

sorry to interrupt, but how would a dc2r be with 225/45/16? Will it rub with standard suspension running the jdm dc2r 16x7 oem rims? I'm not finding any luck getting 215/45/16 tyres.
thanks

+27 you're going to have some pretty gnarly rubbing if you go too far wide without rolling your guards. I'm at +35 and finding that's the outer limits of an 8inch rim with a 205 on it. I can't imagine a wheel being out 8mm further. In fact I can actually when I had my wheels at first before I redrilled them from Toyota centrebore to Honda centrebore they were out about that further, and the only option if I kept it liked that would have been pumped guards, or pumped guards. You're going to run into that issue. At that sort of offset the tyre would no longer sit underneath the guard without pumped guards.

Your car is going to end up looking more like this, it's a particular issue at the rear more than the front, that's only +30 also.
