Tire Size (was NX Highway Cruisin')

[Ray Kawski]

Well keep in mind you need to look at the width of the wheel and the offset of the wheel to determine if it is going to rub.   The B14 wheels will clear most 205x50x15's and stock struts if not all.  I have not tested hoosiers on stock struts with 205x50x15's as they are probably the widest 205 I've seen to date. 

But the Falken Azenis, Hankook RS-2's, and General Exclaim UHP all fit B14 wheels on an SE-R as I've had them all on the car.    

I just got the Exclaims as they were about $30/tire cheaper then the Hankooks and they were giving a $50 gift card for buying 4.  So for $170 less then the Hankooks it was worth the difference.  They are not as stiff as the Hankooks but they are good for just daily driving which my SE-R is for these days.

That may be the case about manliness but that last time a friend of mine
stuck 205/50-14 Nitto Drag Radials, they rubbed the rear fenders.  This
may be due to the offset of the B13 SE-R rims but I'm hesitant to try
the B14 rims with a 205 tire.

What's a good tire in a 205/50-15?  I'm still leaning toward the
195/55-15 Star Spec due to it's favorable Tire Rack test results and the
desirable feasibility.  What say you all?

Get 205x50x15.   They clear fine. The size you mentioned will fit but
the 205s are manlier.  Lol.

 Anyone know if a 195/55-15 on a B14 SE-R rim would fit on a B13 with no
problems? I currently have a set of 195/50-15 Bridgestone S-02 on the
rims and I'm planning to replace them with Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star
Spec.

I know NX's came with 195/55/14 tires but never heard the same for auto
SE-R's.
