Done it. Hehee
Not a fan of beeech tire sizes. I had 225/50/15's on GSR Fat5's. Yes they rubbed but who cares. It'll rub away eventually. Also have 215/50/15's and currently running 205/60/14's. I wanted 215/55/14's but its a hard tire size to find. Im still planning on finding some sexy 13's, I want to be the first to run them.
I like aggressive stances; so I use tire sizes.
215/50/15's. 15x6.5in with a 42mm offset. Love this stance, probably the best tire size IMO.
225/50/15's. Should have been 45series but the tires were pulled from my Mx6's BBS wheels. 15x6in 45mm offset. Looked SICK but the rims sucked; too simple.
Current wheels. 205/60/14's. Sidewalls a little thick but stance is nice. 14x6in with a 35mm offset. I think?

I too am interested in rollin on 17's but would also like to figure out (however possible) the widest tire width I could use without a widebody.
225/40/17, 17x7.5, ?? offset, would be sweet but looks like 215 is the widest without having to alter too much inner fender lip.

when is size overkill?
I'm thinking of putting some new tires on my base model.
I have 15" rims and was thinking of either-
BF Goodrich g force sports, or the T/A KDW-2
or Nitto Neo Gens
in 195/55-15 or 205/50-15's
Any feed back especially if you think that going to 205's is overkill, would be appreciated.

I tried running 205/40/17's with a +42 offset... it rubbed with extra people or big bumps... and not just on the bracket! My rear fender lip was getting rubbed like crazy too! But important to note; almost no rubbing when I ran solo using that config.
I got fed up and switched to 17" rims with a +45 offset instead, shaved the bracket more (and even the fender a bit) and now I have no issues at all. If I had to do it all over again I would probably go with 16's to avoid the hassle.

Flat tire at 1,500 miles? Grrr...
I've had my Fit (Milano Red sport m/t) for just over 2 months now, and have put only about 1,500 miles on it -- and it's already got a flat tire! What the hell? It's not like I'm doing off-road driving or anything... Can I complain to the dealer, or do I just have to suck it up?
#734
I would have the tire checked for any possible reason that would explain a flat - nail, screw or unusual wear. If anything looks abnormal about the way the tire blew then I would get with my salesperson and have Honda double check it. A brand new tire with that few miles on it should not be flat unless something on the road was ran over, or if someone sliced it.

Psi in tires rapidly going down?
Well yesterday I put 41psi in the front tires and 39 in the back. I check it today and the front tires are down to 38psi. What would cause this to happen? I doubt I have a slow leak the car is only 5k miles old.
#738
yea, I guess it could be. It was around 72 yesterday , and cold and rainy today. But it seems this has been goin on for a little while now. before i left for a 400mile trip this past weekend I put had 40psi in the fronts, and when i got to where i was I had 33. I dunno , just thought it was weird.
