unsuccessful search...
What are the widest tires I can run on an EM1 without them rubbing? Front wheels are not quite tucked. Thanks

205's are perfect. 215's might rub on hard cornering if they are almost tucked right now but dont quote me on that.

Generally run no more than 20mm wider than original stock, no more than +3% bigger in overal diameter, and stick with your original offset and you should be fine.

Concentrate on getting better tires not wider tires.

there is a new 235 wide tire that a few boosted people are running with spacers up front. This is for serious street tire traction issues though and I dont know if they fit on the rear becuase ive only seen people use them up front.

Damn! A 235 tire on a civic!?!?!? That's one helluva setup. I run a 205 with no rubbing issues. Always thought about trying a 215 though.
