What's the best tire size for a 3g?

[charliekuney]

Also, what size are the '00+ Si's and GSR Fat-Fives? I have P195/60R14 85T's on my car right now that were $14.99 a piece, so I have absolutely no traction. I'm looking to either get the GSR's or Si's, but I'm not sure yet. Or, a pair of both. Maybe some bronzed Fat-Fives, but that might clash with the color of my purse- er, car.

Again, two main questions:
What's the best tire size for a 3g?
What size are the '00+ Si's and GSR Fat-Fives? (I have 14's)

Another question: Has anyone tried the Fit wheels on one of our cars?

195/50/15 or 205/50/15. they both work great. 205 is a bigger footprint better for auto cross.

[charliekuney]

Will those tires fit both Si's and GSR's? What are some good (& cheap) tire models?

[Rendon LX-i]

yea the gsr's and si's are the same offset and size. so they both fit.....i would personaly go with a 205 charlie. looks more clean and handles a whole lot better...yet the 195 works good to. Cheap tire you can prolly get a falken,khumo for around 50/60 a piece new. my brother got a set of falken Ziex ze-912 for 44 a piece im like holly shit lol.....



These are the tires...but what ever fits you man...shop around. 15s can vary in price depending what you want....I like the falken good all season. kinda LOL but handles great

[Rendon LX-i]

But i like my dulops LOL. there where 50 plus 10 for special ordering the bitches...i want the new ones that just came out...look so nice but i dont know who they handle...ill have to see

[charliekuney]

$50 each is fine. I'll look further into it. Thanks for the help!

Yup, Rendon is right about the sizing... I am running a 195/50/15... 205's will work well though too.

My dad's tire guy got me 195 60 r15's for my car.... That kinda made me irritated. He only got 1, but after I kinda bitched, he threw in a used one the exact same for free. I think 195 55 R15's would be better, cuz my speedometer reads 80 when I'm doing 77 with my 50's in the front.

the honda fit wheels have a crazy high offset it's like 55... they tuck in a lot more, honda did this on the fit to improve the economy while still using a bigger wheel. so if you want to lower the car and tuck the wheels the fit wheels are great for that, but on a non slammed car they look weird from the front and back.

when i had my fat fives i had 195/60/15 but now i just have the falken 205/50/15...looks good with a drooped 3 gee coupe

[lostforawhile]

is a 205- 70- 14 a good fit on these cars? when i get financially back on my feet, I really want the BF goodrich radial TA tires with the raised while letters. I've looked at hundreds of tires and I think with the hatchie in panda these would look killer, very old school 80's

[AccordB20A]

i guess the best standard tires for the car is 195 60 r14 as that what the sticker in my door jamb says thats the oem side they come with on factory rims. i currently have 195 65 r14 on the rear and 195 60 r14 on the front, so my back wheels are larger for extra towing height

[lostforawhile]

so what is the difference between the size I posted and the original 14's? taller,wider? i hate trying to figure out tire aspect ratios. will they fit with no problems?

[Civic Accord Honda]

i think forrest tried 70/14 tires on his old 3gee and said they were too tall

[stat1K]

70's fit if the car isn't lowered... if they're 205's and 70 and lowered they would probably rub on the rear... depending on the offset of the wheel. but in a normal offset i'd say they'd rub.

[AccordB20A]

who wants large baloon tyres anyway the more side wall the more flubber and roll lol

[A18A]

i quite like my 205/55/15s pitty i only have 2 on the car lol

[stat1K]

yeah i like 55 series tires, i'm running 195/60r14's on my civic with a 2" drop and the rears are close to the wells but that's because the civic is like the accord and with drop springs the back is lower than the front.

[lostforawhile]

70's fit if the car isn't lowered... if they're 205's and 70 and lowered they would probably rub on the rear... depending on the offset of the wheel. but in a normal offset i'd say they'd rub.

so they will rub at stock height? i think i have an old bf goodrich radial TA at that size already, i could have it mounted to one of these rims and see how it looks as far as clearance. lowering the car around here is out of the question, we already have railroad crossings and driveways that want to rip off the exhaust at stock height.

[Civic Accord Honda]

lol yeah all the drive ways are like that here.. my whole underbody drags pulling out of the driveway on good shocks and stock springs

[stat1K]

you just don't go into those places or park further away... my 2" drop isn't bad over train tracks and such... i don't think they'll rub on stock height.

[Civic Accord Honda]

you just don't go into those places or park further away... .

haha well i gotta go in to my driveway haha... just gotta come in with the ricer angle !

[lostforawhile]

that would involve not driving anywhere at all. a lot of places around here involve turn off of the paved road. get 10 miles out and it's country until the next town. Roodoo came down here once he knows what i mean.

Dude, I'm the only person in my family that can park in the driveway, with as high (off the ground) and as low (overall height) my car is. It's just a big hill.

haha my old 3gee scraped worse then my cb... but my 3gee had 4 blown struts !
