Falken Azenis on Rota Slipstream

Will a 205/55/15 Falken Azenis tire fit a 15x6.5 Rota Slipstream, or am I going to have to gor for something smaller like a 195? BTW I bought a 1990 CRX Si about a week ago ^^

Either one will fit. I have 205/50/15 on the back and 195/50/15 on the front on the Integra rims I put on my civic, and I believe they are 15x6.5.

I would go 195 if I were you but ultimatley its your choice

I agree with Melt. The 195's give much better handling than the 205's that I had on first.

unfortunately I haven't been able to find a 195 in 15", so I guess 205 it will be... just wanted to make sure they fit, although they are gonna be pretty rounded at the sidewall :o

And I am sure I can find you some falken ziex's in 195/50/15 cause thats what I had on my car when I had these bootsy ass 15's that I had to sell cause of tranny work

Good luck with the 205's...unless your car's not lowered, then you shouldnt worry. They will rub though on hard corners.

Well the main thing that you get from the size of the tire on the rim, is what kind of shape the tire creates sitting on the rim. Getting a smaller tire on a rim and you'll get more of a dome shape if you were to cut the rim in 1/2 and look at the shape of the tire. If you get a larger tire, then the tire is in more of a box shape. Contact patch size is ultimately what is affected by this choice, but it is impacted by how much give is in the sidewall, which comes back to how wide of a tire you put on the wheel. Frankly, I couldn't recommend on either way, but that is the math you are looking at. Fortunately most of us don't drive a car tuned for autocross or track driving enough to really care either way about these minute calculations. But just for an idea, a 4WD track car would have a more narrow tire on the front wheel, and a wider tire on the rear wheel (about 10mm difference if that) with about a 60% torque distribution. Yet again, I'm not sure if this really HELPS you at all, but just a few more insignificant variables in the world of automotive design to think about.
