Car is a 94 integra lowered on about 1.64" springs. What tire size should I use? I want best traction and am going to be buying Z rated tires. Thanks!

I'm not lowering it anymore. It's got eibach springs (1.64" length) and struts. It's an all motor build integra type swap JDM b18c. So it's going to have aftermarket stage 2 tuner skunk 2 cams, cam gears, spring valves kit, skunk2 IM, 68mm tb at most. Already has the normal intake, type r headers stock, exhaust running a demon/Neptune p28 ecu for tuning when fully done. So i guess just normal all motor stuff nothing major and no turbo.

Dlo253. Where does it say on the rim if it's 16x7 or what it is. I bought the car with the rims 2 months ago so I don't know per say. Current tires on it are 205 45 r16

And no I wasn't about to buy same tire size if a bigger size gave it better traction hence why i posted to this forum cuz there's so much knowledge.

it should say on the back somewhere. I believe the slips in 16 only come in a 7" width, which 205/45/16 is optimal for. thats an 8.1" tire width already. dont recall if that is overall, or actual section width. But if they are 16x7, thats like the best tire option.

Tire size is one thing, you should look into the quality of the tread/design and composite of the rubber itself.

That's why there's so many tire companies.

Different compounds for different conditions


rubber hardness as well, different hardnesses react differently when fully warmed up, different results.

Yeah, that is the next step since we narrowed down the size, lol...
Check out our tire review thread for some good reviews of various tires.

I've heard a lot of good about the g-Force Sport COMP-2, if you're looking for a decent performance summer tire. If you're looking for tires for a strictly autocross car, these probably aren't the ones. As a good daily driver, it's rated highly and is affordable. Depends on what you're doing though.
