I wonder what that R stands for...anyway it's irrelevant, if you can't figure out that your rim is 16" and not 32" you got bigger problems than wondering if they'll fit or not @ you, no, I'm not changing it.

I didn't say they were both correct, I said they'd both fit. As for running with 45's I must have COMPLETELY missed the part where he said his car was lowered. 45 or 55's will all fit fine. Probably 65's too but as I said, I'm not positive about 65's as that's pushing the envelope a bit.

If he listens to me, he'll be fine, if he listens to your static, he'll also be fine.

You know what, whatever, not worth arguing.

You're 150% right, I'm 100% wrong. Go the fu8k away now & leave me the fu8k alone.

@ OP: Don't listen to me, just, don't listen to a word I said, I'm 100% wrong in every aspect, this guy's 100% right, don't listen to me, at all, you will fail at life if you do!!!! Your car will blow up if you listen to me!!!</TD></TR></TABLE>

Yes, it's almost amusing how freely he is able to dole out insults and offensive posts to other members, but when someone else corrects or refutes his erroneous statements, he immediately becomes upset and defensive. Oh well...

If you can't figure out the difference between the terms radius and diameter (which is basic middle school math), you shouldn't be dispensing advice to others. You don't need to change anything - it certainly doesn't make any difference to me. By all means, leave your blatant error for others to see.

By the way, the R stands for Radial. If you bothered to do some research rather than sitting here dispensing poor advice, you'd have known that.

There are many sizes that will "fit" a Civic with a 15" or 16" wheel. However, only certain sizes will maintain the stock overall diameter, and thus also leave the speedometer, odometer, and effective gearing unchanged. I have a feeling that's what the original poster was interested in, not simply slapping on some tires that "fit".

Sure, a 205/55-16 tire on his car is great advice. His speedometer, odometer, and effective gearing will only be thrown off by 6%. Better yet, the 65 series would provide a 13% difference. Excellent work.

Whether or not his car is lowered, 205/45-16 is a proper choice. The ones you suggested were not.

If he listens to you, he'll have tires that are the wrong size for his car. That's certainly an interesting definition of "fine".

Translation: I know I'm wrong, and I can't support my original statements.

Actually, I'm 100% right, and I won't even attempt to put a percentage on your information. As for the rest of that statement, I think Honda-Tech collectively wishes you'd follow your own advice.

Finally, something we can all agree upon. Congrats.

Wow. I knew as soon as I saw the title of this thread that it was gonna be like shooting fish in a barrel. Do you know what happens to your handling and ride when you put anything larger than 16's on a civic? If you want 20's get a cadillac. Oh, and while you are at it, put in a crushed velvet interior with a little plastic jesus on the dash.

No, please spare me the pain of having to tell you to shoot yourself in the head! Biggest is not always best, especially in this case!

First of all, you need to think about a few different things: The type of theme you want, as well as the style of car: show, drag, racing, street, etc...

16's or 17's are plenty adequate, however, it really depends on the application.. 15s are awesome for some applications, and 16s are a pretty good medium. However it is your choice and I wish you good luck.

Suprisingly i went from 13's to 17 Enkei Wheel Or52 on my 95 Honda Civic and it rides very smooth. I went for 205/40R17 Falken ZE512 on the tires so its low profile but doesnt look rediculous. Personally if i had to buy rims all over again i would definitly look at 15's or 16's which would definitly help performance. I just completed a B18C1 Swap so the 17's are great but when i throw my old 13 steelies this car wants to fly..lol

Now my cousin has 18's on his 2003 Civic and everytime we turn a corner its rubbing and he has low low profile run flat tires and his car rides like ****.. not to mention its not even lowered.
