Tire fitment on my ek4

**hondaEK4** · 01-02-2010 09:28 PM

205 55 16 Would these set of tires+rims 16" fit on front wheels of my EK4 on stock height?

Bump.

awesome, 16 minute bump

first things first use the tire calculator
and whether it scrubs or not depends on your height, width of rim and offset

**hondaEK4** · 02-02-2010 02:05 PM

pcd 4x100 +32 offset with 205/55-16
need to know if it would fit on my ek4 on stock height
on Front wheels or would it rub

what width rims?

stock height is heaps tall, just about anything will fit as long as you don't bottom out the suspension
205/55 will throw your speedo out of whack though

16x7

im running on stock ek4 rims with 185/60-15's

16x7 +32 205/55/16 should be fine
it'll probably look a bit weird though

Strange.. I thought stock tire is 195/55R15. If you go to 205/55R16 your speedo meter will be out of whack.
Use this calculator:

What do you guys mean by speedo going out of whack?

**anzai** · 02-02-2010 05:18 PM

the rolling diameter of the wheels will be different, so say your speedo is showing 100 kph your probably be doing less or more than that.

use the tire calculator mate, its got all the info you need....

nah 205/55/16 rubs hard even on stock height

the largest u can get is 205/50/16 on ek4

tyre 101 - the first width is in MM, the second is a % of the width & the last is size of rim.

Therefore a 185 @ 60% + 14" rim size is much less than a 205 @ 60% + 16" rim size.

stock tyre is 195/55/15, in a 16" closest is 205/45/16
