I've already looked at the other threads & it still dnt answer my question.
My gsr got lowering springs a 1.5 drop, I'm wondering if the front tires will rub with them on or turning?
I'm not worried about the stretch I'm from Hawaii that's island style.

I have 205's on my summer 15x8 wheels. They look good. 195 on a 15x8 can be dangerous, get 205 or 215.

What this gentlemen said ^^ I'm running 15x7 with a 25 offset wrapped in 195/50/15 dropped 4 inches and I can't make u-turns. Cause of the rubbing. All fenders rolled too.

Depends on the offset. I run 225s on my 15x8's without rubbing. All fenders rolled.
I could even fit a 235 if the someone made a 235/45/15.

Offest is very important. 8" might be too wide. Idk, I had 15x7 +30. They were fine till I lowered it. Now I sit in ls meshies.

I use a 205 50 15 Toyo RA1 on my 15x8 wheels. I may try a 225 45 15


Not sure your ride height, but this tire has been shaved and was used on a spec Miata before i used them, so they are "at the wear bars" aka about to be super fun. Mine are on the right, on the left is another wheel which is using a 205 50 15 on a 15x8 on federal 959 r

195 on a 15x8..dangerous? nah, it's not an excessive stretch by any means, has just enough stretch to clear as long as you're not 'overly lowered' but good, not great road contact

Size matters. Lol, it always does lol.

But, you have a lot to play with if your offest puts your wheel in the middle of the wheel well. Lower offset pushes the wheel outside and jnto the fender. Rolling fenders helps, I have mine done. This effect is exaggerated when you lower, causing steering, rubbing, turning, scraping, tire wearing, bumpsteering, and bodyrolling effects felt by you to be greater. Offest is very important.

Have fun with the island style integra.
