I plan on getting HFP 16" 7-Spoles from http://handa-accessories.com. Then I'll go with Neuspeed.

What do you guys think?

Or you could always use the tire calc, that's why I have 215/50/16. There's no rubbing, but there's quite a wheel gap, I have stock suspension though. Tires was a more important performance upgrade.

Just wondering why you went with the 215 instead of the 205? When I went to purchase from tirerack the salesman said the 215's were an incorrect fit for my 7th gen... said go with 205?

The 215/50/16 has the exact same diameter as the 2001-04 EX's OEM (185/65/15)... so no change in speedometer/odometer accuracy.

The 205/50/16 is closer to 2005 EX's OEM (195/60/15) diameter, but would change the speedo by 1.6% on the 2001-04's.

IMO most probably just go the way of the 205 for the looks and maybe to avoid rubbing when lowering.
