195/55/15 is what comes on the car. I would go with the 205/50/15. There are alot more tire choices and they are a lil wider. They are very clos to the stock size as far as hight. This is what I run with Prokits and I dont rub at all.

What kind of suspension do you have? Even with mr trunk loaded with 4 wheels and tries, floor jack and tools, I never rub in the rear. I have 205-50-15 Potenza RE730s and they are badass. My fiancee has Kumho 712s on her '97 SE-R in the same size.

I wanted to know what is the correct size tires for our cars, I got new ones, about a year and a half ago and ever since then the rears rub if there are people in the back and I hit a bump. I think that it is almost time for new ones and I want to be SURE to get the right size.

I just have the stock suspension, and it is weird, because I have almost no wheel gap in the rear.

I just looked at my tires and they are 205/60/15 so I don't know, I may have bad suspension? Any ideas?

205/60? That's VERY wrong.... 205/50 is the correct size... so your aspect ratio is off by 10%. That means your sidewalls are about 20.5 mm to tall.

'96 SE-R.... a few tweaks here and there :)

Would that make it rub?

Yes, defiantely. i suggest you purchase some nice new grippy 205/50's or 195/55's and think about new suspension too, hehe.

yea, I would love to, but the cash flow is minimal. Hopefully I will get a job soon and I can start saving. Being an unemployed student is fun, except for the lack of cash. I am just trying to get my engine in for right now, I figure that I will run these tires till they are finished, then by that time, hopefully I will have the money to do suspension and new tires. And I will never go back to Gateway Tire.

yea, I know, I feel the same way. every time I think we are about done, I have to find another little thing that ends up being a dealer only item. and I always need them on the weekend when they are closed. It WILL be done soon.
