205/60/16 tires for 07 Civic LX ?
Hi all,
First post on Honda Tech. I'm looking for your opinion on mounting 205/60/16 winter tires on my 07 Civic LX. This is a 3.16% difference in diameter compared to 205/55/16. I don't care about the slower speedometer reading, but would this cause a safety issue?
I'd prefer downsizing to 15 inch (195/65/15), but I've been offered these almost new tires for free. I don't want to play cheap, but I'd be stupid not to consider the offer.
Let me know what you think.

Re: Official 06+ Civic Picture Thread FG/FA/FD
i honestly dont think you'll have any trouble. i had 17x8.5 +30 and it barely rubbed at all and i was at the same drop the skunk2 springs give you.

You will have no issues with rubbing with that offset. If you can fit 235/40's on OEM wheels with an offset of +45 mm on a 7" wide wheel you will be fine.

Re: ***OFFICIAL 8G Wheel & Tire thread***
well.. since I didn't want to bump up a 4 month old thread and created one that ended up getting locked.. here is my question:
right now I'm running 18x8 +43 wheels lowered on Tein S-Tech's on my 07 FG2.
I've been looking at upgrading to a more agressive setup. Will 18x8.5 +25 fit? I will be running 225/40/18 tires on them.

17x8.5 +40 235/45 fit with HPF suspension?
Looking at a set of Enkei PF01s in that size, maybe in 8" wide and was wondering if they will fit or if I'll have rubbing issues? Car is with HFP suspension, and would like 17x8.5 if it will fit...
17x8" will be +35, 8.5" will be +40
Car is 2011 Civic Si Coupe.
