Tire size for LS mesh wheel?

By ForneyHatch
- Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:52 pm #282153 Can I fit a 225 50 15 sized tire on a acura integra ls mesh rim? I want to road race my EG hatch. Is this a adequate size or will i have fitment and driving issues? Thanks

here's a 205/50 MT ET Streets on mine..

the ls is a 15x6,... to skinny for 225's

id get a 7 or 7.5 wheel even maybe a 8in wheel

I'd go with an 8. They look cool too. Haha

6" will be fine, 7" would be better.

- Tue Dec 20, 2011 10:57 pm #286251 I ditched the idea of getting ls mesh wheels. I ordered 15" Rota Slipstreams with 205/50 15 Toyo R888 tires instead
