I am wondering if you can fit a 195/60-14 Falken Azenis on the stock civic 14x5" rim from the 2k civic EX. The stock tire is a 185/65-14, so could you go just a little wider? I think Falken says to go with a 5.5"-7.0" rim width on this tire. Would half an inch really matter that much? Has anyone ever done this before? I am just looking for a good performance tire for this rim.

Yeah, they will fit. They won't perform as good as they would on a wider rim, but you shouldn't have a problem if it's generally for street driving.

Here is a link to a thread in the Autocross/Road forum about 14" azenis. A couple people put in there opinion about 5" wide rims. Overall I hear good things. Running them VERY hard on a road track is the only time you might be dissipointed. But again, that's racing and not general street driving. I say go for it. I'm waiting to get some 14" azenis for myself (6" rim).

Look for some used steelies from G1 Integra 14X5.5. It'll work better.

nobody really says anything about the honda OEM 14x5 rims. I am not going to be hitting the track with these. I just want to improve my 60ft. times, and generally not spin as much.

Again, yeah they will work. There should be no problem putting them on a 14x5 rim. As far as improving the 60ft times, I'm sure they will be better than your stock tires, but the azenis really isn't designed as a drag tire.
