Icon5 tiresss

I drive a 1998 honda civic ex lowered on skunk 2 lowering springs . it dropped 2 1/2 in the front and 2 in the back .

I am upgrading from my stock wheels which are 185/65r14 .

i am going up to 15's .

These wheels i bought are 15x8.5 +17 .

So that means i have to strech tires onto that wheel .

Does anyone have any suggestions on what size i need ?

This guy told me about putting one size in the back then a different size up front . just because he didnt know it would clear with all the same size .

If anyone could help that would be awesome !
Thanks!

also sorry to say but 15" rims are lacking if you want performance tires for the street. too bad you didn't go up to 16"

Not really. You're going to have far more options in 15" tires, compared to 16" tires.

You won't have to stretch the tires if you buy the right tire size...

225/45/15 will fit wonderfully.
