guys i have stock rims.15x6 with 45mmoffset
and buddy club sf 15x6.5 with 40mm offset...
should i get 205/55/15 or 225/50/15
i noticed that we can't get 205/55/15 slick, but we can get 225/50/15., i really wanna get 225/50/15, but if lower like 2.5 inch would it rub at all?, i don't want to roll my fenders at all, ohh yeah would the tires fit on the rims at all??
thanks in advance

huh?
why are you worried about it rubbing...
if youre getting slicks, you're obviously just using them for drag racing.
the only time they would rub is over big bumps or on turns, neither of which will you encounter on the 1320.
i wouldnt worry about it.

sorry your original post led me to beleive you were running (2) stock rims and (2) buddy clubs, thats y i thought you were dragging.

so youre gonna run slicks front and rear for autoX?

i dunno, but i would think 225/50/15 might rub if you got a drop.

I just put a set of 205/50 Azenis on my stockies. I will probably be using those for autocross until I can afford some other light weight 15's so I can put either a 205/50 yoko or kumho autocross tire on.

I have a 1.5" Eibach Sportline drop with Falken 225/50/16s on 16x7 rota Circuit 8s ---

I have no rubbing issues *UNLESS* I have 3 people or more in my car --- with 1 or 2 people (even while autocrossing) no rubbing at all...

Id say they would fit fine... but dont do a 2" drop.
