question about rim and tire size.

[cb7 justin]

i was wanting to put 15 inch rotas on my accord without going with low profiles. this being cause i don't want to lower my car. was wondering what would be the best size tire to hide all that extra space between the tire and the fender well. im getting a front lip to make it look lower then it is. i just want the lower look without lowering it, if you understand what im talkin about. i also wanna get the right size so i dont feel every rock and bump in the road like i've had in the past with previous rims with low profile tires.

I'm running 195/65-15 tires on Ruby with essentially stock suspension. The higher aspect ratio (stock tire is 195/60-15 for the aluminum wheels) puts a little more tire in the opening. I did this to somewhat counteract the gear ratios in the Prelude transmission (sold to me reportedly as an Accord transmission). You can see pictures in my 90 LX MRT. I don't think it makes it look lowered, just looks like a bigger tire. Depending on your wheel width, you might be able to go slightly wider (205) which would also give you a slightly taller sidewall.

thanks for the info fleet. any and all is good to me cause this is my first honda i've ever owned, and i'm trying to do and learn a lot on my own. so far i've changed my transmission fluid, redone custome door panels and speaker covers, ran a system (which was a bitch to get through the firewall), and made a custome boot for my gear shifter. i'm in the process of fixing my leaky trunk. i had to remove my system cause it started to mildew my box.
