I have an extra set of 16" 7gc rims that came with my car with no rubber. I did some calculations and 225/45r16 is very close in diameter to 205/55r15 as to not mess with my speedo readings. Is it possible for these tires to fit without hitting suspension/fenders/wheelwell? Anyone know how wide I can go? Anything helps. Thanks!

finding a 225/45R16 tire is near impossible these days unless its a track tire.

a 225/50R16 will rub on the rear of the wheelwell.

there's no reason i see to going wider than 225 really even though you can fit a 235 on there. 215 wide tires is optimal even for a 217hp Integra Type R from the factory. unless your putting out mad crazy hp and have a turbo. but even then you can do other suspension mods to put power to the ground
