Default what is the largest size of tires for EG donut rims?

I believe stock donuts rims are 15", so is it 195/60/15 or 205/60/15

I consider my spare tire a donut, are you talking about the stock wheels (steelies)? I'm almost positive the EG came with 13 or 14" steelies. The only car that came with 15" steelies that I can think of was one of the integras.

i believe so because they have a bigger brake setup yielding the need for a 15" rim.

The newer 01+ civic's come with 15x6" rims.

You can use a 195/55/15 (expensive) or 205/50/15.

p.s. 195/60/15 tires will rub on an eg with stock suspension.

What are you trying to accomplish?

edit: MOST 195/55/r15 tires are slightly taller than 205/50/r15's.

I run a set of 195/60/r14's on my 93 Ex.

why don't you just go to VIP or NAPA or someplace that sells cheap wheels and buy 15 inch steels? or if you really want they make 20 inch steels for BMW's. i don't get what you're trying to accomplish.

that's not the point homie, i know steelies only costs 10bucks each. Did you even read the thread question dude, im asking the largest size of tires for steelies, not where to buy or what size of steelies you think i need to use. What iam trying to accomplish? how about a solid firm facts about steelie sizes and its tires sizes??

If sme facts about steelies and you dont even know..then wtfucking point of driving an Honda car on steelies? . You are hopeless

Nobody understands the original question.

Are you looking for the widest tire or the tallest tire?

I have a 97 1.6EL, it came with 15" steelies stock. The rims had 205/50R15's mounted on them before, I put a brand new set of BFG's (195/55R15 stock size) on since then.

^^ That's a good way to cause a tire to explode. You'd have bits of tire embedded in your face and body.

14" - 195
15" - 225

The 225/50/15 will probably rub during daily driving.

I have cheapo 185/75/14 tires on my coupe with stock suspension and they only rub on the passenger side when the wheel is all the way turned to the left.

basically:

185 is the width of the tire (can't remember the units)

75 is the profile (which means sidewall height proportional to the width) The lower the profile, the shorter the sidewall height will be.

14 basically the size of your rim in inches to keep it simple.


And to answer your question from before which I just noticed this time, yes I do like the BFG's. They are BFGoodrich Traction T/A's. They have got the beefiest tread I have ever seen on a sport/touring tire. They are quiet, smooth, and stick to the road. They also have a 100,000 km treadwear warranty.

EDIT - I forgot to mention they're great in the rain/snow too!

14" steelie: 195/60-14 (they don't make a 205 that will keep the right diameter)
15" steelie: 205/50-15 (215's will need atleast a 6.5" wide rim and may rub)
