Fitment and Tires

I have a '97 and I also have a set of Prelude(non-sh) wheels and I was wondering how I could find the correct size Azenis to offset the change in size from the stock 15's to the 16's and the change in width.



Thanks

Use this.

based on going from a 195/55/15 stock to a 16" wheel you will need a 205/45/16

I have 215/45R16 Azenis. You are safe with either... the 205s are a bit smaller than stock, the 215s are a bit bigger, but both differences are negligible (the 215 is just a bit closer to stock). Here's another good link for wheel/tire sizing (including offset values...although some are slightly incorrect - i.e. 43mm Volks are actually 42mm).
