I will go if I get rims and tires for my car. You know of anyone selling 15X7's 4x100 lug patern, 205/50/15 possibly... maybe... I dont think my car will perform well with 175/70/13's
see you there, hopefully.

well the thing is I dont know if 225 will fit my car, I know 205's will and they look damn meaty on 15x6.5 anyways. I asked around and nobody that responded has had wider than 205's on an eg civic. Anywyas, its almost 3am and I dont have rims, so I guess I will be racing on my 175/70/13's, its all about seat time right? well I guess thats all I'll be getting. I just hope I get up in time
good night!!
good night!!

I have 205/50/15 Azenis on 15x7 RP-F1's on my 91 Si they fit fine. But why would you want to put a 225 on the car if it wont be but a few tenths faster and twice the price. The only 225's I know of is the BFG KD which is like $170 per tire from TireRack

I have 205/50-15 Hoosiers and 205/45-16 Kumho's that I use on my RX7, both on 7" wide rims. I might get away with a 225 in the rear and be faster, but the 225 will lose crispness on the front of the car.
With that said, I also used to use 225/50-15's on 15x7 rims on my Mustang GT when I used to run it is stock form. I ran against lots of people using 245/45-15's at the time, and I will tell you that I never lost to them in an autocross. I felt with the 225's my turn in was much crisper than theirs (and I think I proved my point). The Mustang is a 3250lb car where the RX7 is in the 2800lb range.

i'm not sure if it's better or what not, but having 80mm more rubber on the ground sounds good to me. besides, i have tons of other areas i need to work on before i go into such a fine detail.roadRacer, did you say crisper? with my stock bushings i probably have about as crisp turning as a Ritz in soup.
