Default Widest Tire for 95 Civic EX

I just bought a set of fat fives and want to keep a clean look as far as sidewall height. I think the 205/50/15 combo will look best. Will i have any issues with rubbing when turning the wheel? Stock ride height.

195/50/15 would be the best size for you.

205/50/15 has a bigger sidewall than 195/50/15, but since you are stock height, the 205's will be best.

Depending on what brand tire you go with, the 205's might rub the front fender liners at full lock, but since you are not lowered you won't have to worry.

It is the closest match to your stock tire size of 185/60-14, and it will minimize the chances of rubbing.

Also, 195/50-15 tires are often cheaper than 205/50-15.

There's no significant difference in performance between the two. If you are looking for better performance, get BETTER tires, not WIDER tires. The Goodyear F1 GS-D3 is perhaps the best all-around street tire on the market, and it comes in 195/50-15 (but not 205/50). If you're looking for performance, get that tire.

I got a good price on some faulken ZE-512 in 205/50/15. Im not really looking for performance just a decent All Season tire.
