Im putting the GSR fat5s on(I am kind of forced to buy new tires now... one of the tires on my stockers is flat)
... so the question is 195/50 or 205/50?

suspension is: eibach sportlines and tokico illuminas (1.7F/1.5R drop) will 205s rub in the back at all or should I be alright?
benefits/drawbacks of running wider tires?

:dunno: usually i end up buying another set of wheels w/ tires and not needing to buy tires

i say 195's because there may be clearance issues in the back with 205's. well... i had clearance issues with 205's so i went with 195's on my fat fives.

i run 205/50/15's on both sets of rims (the bronze circut 8's off the crx) and the N's on the civc and i have no rubbing issues at all and you see how low the civic is.

205 FTW!!!!

I told you should have picked up that one from the junk yard. Now you have to buy 2 of them.
