hey i have a 1995 civic and my friend gave me 19x8.0 in rims and i have a 1.6in drop so my question is wat do i need to do to make them fit and wat are a good tire size for them? thanks

 

sell them for some better rims.

I dont think 19s can fit without custom work if i'm wrong correct me.

 

idk i places it up with my rims and tires i have on my car right now and it seems like i can have a profile of 4in or less and it will fit

You'll need to find a 205/35-19 (does anyone make one?) to get close to the original total diameter, to keep your speedo accurate. And even that is slightly too big. A Falken ST-115 in a 215/35-19 would be the closest I can think of, and thats huge. Aside from some absurd super low profile tire, I don't think you'll find anything that will work correctly.

Ignoring speedo and gearing changes, you want the skinniest, lowest profile tire you can find, to try and keep the rubbing to a minimum.

 

you'll probably be hard pressed to find someone that actually has experience trying to put that monstrous size wheel/tire on a civic.

 

sell them

 

19''s look hideous on a civic my brother put em on his coupe and he had to cut out his fender well and all this stupid *** ****, and he ended up not even keepin em for a week there ugly get rid of em, i wanted to slap him for even doing it

 

it all depends on what the offset it, 19x7.0's will fit at a +48mm using a 215/35/19, but are larger than the orginal tire. It will rub some and I would not recommend it. Sell them and buy something more suitable for what you would like.

 

sell the rims, 19s are to big for your car. Get something more suitable ..yet have some blingage.
