ITRCA

With the stock being 195/55 and I have 205/50 on there now. How much larger can I go? I would like to fill the space up a little and give it a more agressive look. My friend had Azenis's on there a while back and gave it a nice stance but he can't remeber the size since it was like 5 years ago. Any input would be appreciated.

Like whoa...
I suggest going to tirerack and using their spec sheet to see how much you are far from the correct diameter. Your speedo is going to be way off.
23.4 inch is the correct diameter FYI.

Width rob... width.

215's are common place without rubbing issues.

The most common Type R autox setup is 225/45/15 on the front and 205/50/15 on the rear. No rubbing at all. A few guys are running the new 275/35/15 on the front and the 225/45/15 on the back, but I believe they both rub a bit.

Yes. I was just about to say the same.

So a 225 would fit on a stock wheel?

yes.

Thank you kindly!

keep in mind we're talking about r-comps here - their sidewalls are extremely stiff. if you put a 225 street tire on a 15x6 rim, even if it's an re01-r, *spec or neova, it's still gonna have a lot more flex than a hoosier or kumho will. i'd stick with a 205/50R15 if you aren't going the r-comp route.

205/50-15 RA1s are plenty of R-comp tire for a near stock R on track.
