BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial Tires

[90crxSi/Zc]

I have a 1990 crx si with 14" si rims off of a 93 del sol si and i was wondering if anyone could tell me if 205/50-14 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial Tires would fit on the front of my car without rubbing?

 

[posol]

its actually a little small.

195/60 is stock size.

 

[90crxSi/Zc]

Is 205/50 smaller, i thought it was bigger

Tire size calculator

the 205 will be 10mm wider

stock tire: 195/60/14
sidewall : 4.6in
radius: 11.6in
diameter: 23.2in
circumference: 72.9in
revs/mile: 869.0

new tire: 205/50/14
sidewall: 4.0in
radius: 11.0in
diameter: 22.1in
circumference: 69.3in
revs/mile: 914.0


those measurements are approximations... but should give you a pretty close idea to what you will be dealing with

Then you start going from company to company and realize that company A's 205/50/14 is 3/8ths of an inch taller than company B's 205/50/14. Although neither will admit it.

So they should fit then right?

 

[eg6sir]

yes... if you have a wide enough 14 to fit a 205

 

[90crxSi/Zc]

I dont know how wide my rims are, they are the stock rims off of a 93 del sol si

 

[eg6sir]

they're like 5 or 5.5 inches wide i think.. not wide enough i dont think..

 

[posol]

i wouldn't do it.

195/60 on a 14 is what you want to run

 

[90crxSi/Zc]

What kind of tires should i run then?

 

[posol]

what are you looking to do with the car?

 

[90crxSi/Zc]

Well its my daily driver but i want to take it to the strip every once and a while also

 

[E_SolSi]

seriously dont bother with drag radials
they suck
if you daily drive them you are going to eat through them stupid fast
and they dont have the grip that a real drag slick is going to give you at the track

basically its the worst features of both tires combined

get a set of street tires then get a set of dedicated track tires
it will cost you less in the end

 

[eg6sir]

i wouldn't do it.

195/60 on a 14 is what you want to run

thats what i'm running on mine

 

[formby]

i have the 205-50-14 BFGs on steelies. but i only use them on saturday nights or at the track

but they will fit and hold a bead.

i would not use the for DD.
