I have a 96' Civic Lx. Want to get some new rims. Whats the tallest and widest i can safely go ?

 

How about trying oh I don't know...The wheel and tire forum?

Anyway, I think the biggest I've seen are 18s on a 4 door, not sure about width

i shoot for a nice light set of 15 or 16 inch

 

i have seen a 19inch rim on a civic hatch here in town. As for why? No clue, I asked the guy and he just gave me the "it looks tyte" respone.
Personnally I suggest you get a 15 or 16inch rim

 

just get a 3 in. lift jack that bitch up and put 24s on there

 

i had 215/18/35 on my 00 hatch. you prolly can put 19s but i think that pushing it.

 

ive seen some ugly *** 19's that u can see urself in on a eg but they looked so retarted it was hilarious i didint even think a stock honda had enough torque to get those things spinning

get some light 15's or 16's

I like 15-16's for Civics

 

you can fit dubs ... but you wont be turning

for best fitment 15-16's as well stated

 

How wide can i go without running into problems ?

 

7"

 

someone locally put some 22's on a civic, but he had to cut out the wheel wells.

 

moved to wheel and tire forum...

LOL

 

i think the 6th gen comes with a 14".. if i were you, i'd get a 16" with a nice tire..

 

You can get 18's with a 35 series tire without doing too much damage.

You can get 16's with a 45 series tire without us laughing at you.

You can get 15's with a 50 series tire and make your car better.

 

is the 6th gen wheel well size the same as the 5th gen's?

 

I've seen 19s on an EF hatch

 

I had 215/35/19 on my 2000 Si for a while. I would hit the fender well just as the steering wheel would be maxed out. Look at my sig if you want a picture. I have 205/40/17 OZ now. Much better.

 

I don't want to laugh.

 

I wouldnt go any bigger than 16" personally, but 17s dont look bad without a body kit and in import tuner there was a 4 door on 20's and air cylinders awhile back and didnt have to do too many mods...
