i have a 1995 civic DX, i have the stock wheel son now, 175/70/R13.
im looking to buy a 17 inch rim with tires 205/40/17. will they fit good with stock ride hight? also would i get better or worse gas mileage. the reason i would think better is cause im traveling a little further per tire rotation since its bigger. or am i going to loost gasmileage cause they are heavier??

Don't get 17 either way... 16 or 15

 

You're not going to get better gas milage. And if you do it will not be correct because your speedo is thrown off. Plus 17's look horrid on civic's.

 

Dont get 17, and DONT get Toyo Tires because if your car is lowered, Toyo tires tend to wear down real easy on the inside. I had 205/40/17's on my civic with 17" wheels and got less than 12,000 miles on them. Toyo tires are softer tires than most.

 

i just ordered a nice set of 15" rims 195/50/15. with 15"s i wont get worse gas mileage willl i? if the gas mileage stays the same i would be more then happy. i just wanna make sure it wont cause me to get worse gas mileage. let me know

 

50 series tires are hot, but those wheels arent.

 

for 599 shipped to my door with tires mounted an balanced, i cant go wrong., those stock donut looken rims are hirrible looking. i personally like the rims i ordered. anyone else like them?

i wish i could say i do... h-t market place could have netted you some cheaper rims such as rotas...that look x1111111 times better

 

you guys are making me feel bad. well at least i like them. when they are on the car ill let you know if i still like them.

 

If you like the wheels you purchased, then forget what everyone else says. It's your car so do what you like. With 15" rims you won't lose any gas mileage at all. If anything it should still be pretty much the same (give or take). Not entirely sure so I could be wrong.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Hilarious!

It isnt the tires man..its your dumped *** car with horrible camber. And saying "Toyos" are softer than others makes no sense as there are many models of Toyo Tires. What ones are you referring to?

Kids.

Thats not a bad price at all man, and the wheels look ufckin killer. They remind me of Konig Holes.

you COULD have gotten them cheaper..but they wouldnt be new, and the tires would be ready for a change. So all in all, YES you got a good deal.

Enjoy them man, and post pics when you get them on. And they'll look MUCH better without being lowered rather than 17's that will make your car look like a 4x4.

 

nice rims nd 17 are gay on civics

expletive em. If you like 17's on your Civic, get 17's. It's YOUR car, not thiers. 17's - not my cup of tea - but I sure as hell don't care if you rock 'em. Just don't post a thread with a picture of them on your car in two weeks asking opinions if you're going to get all sandy-vag when we tell you the truth

FYI yes 17s will be affected with your ride height but only when turning around a turn at a higher speed. Or when you have the wheels cocked all the way to one side the tire will rub on the inside of your wheel well causing premature wear on the tire and pulling off the paint on the inside of your wheel well causing it to start to rust take their advice go with a 15 or 16" rim with a higher performance tire it will fit perfectly on your EG and look alot cleaner let alone cost less for replacing tires and wont be rubbing the inner wheel wells

BUt it is your car so have fun with what ever rice **** you wanna do heck if you get 17s i advise you to go to wal-mart and pick up the largest most epspensive wing than go to advanced auto and buy their largest and most obnocious fart can put them on and pretend your a pro drag/street racer????

because you know all three of those add at least 500 hp a peice

 

hey man if u like them that is all that matters..... they look pretty sweet but i would have to see them on the car

 

well here is the pic with the rims and tires installed. in person i think it looks really good

 

Nice man...I love those wheels. So I guess you decided against 17's? Good man!

So what kind/size are the tires? A mild drop and your car will look ****** dope. Congrats on the new wheels.


EDIT: I see above you said you ordered 15's so you obviously decided against 17's a while ago. And I dont know if anyone answered you..but your gas milage wont go down anything noticible.

 

hey man, thanks. i think it looks killer. its raining out now and the new brakes are rusting so bad immediatly. im goignt o have to take them off and paint them. this car is actually just my work beater. so lowering it i wont do lol. i have an 04 dodge srt-4 as my nice car.

 

could be worse.. although 599 is a little much

drop that **** to the ground

edit : nice srt

 

Definetly a nice ****** SRT.

And dont worry about the rotors...they always rust. I'd paint the rear drums and front calipers black..but thats about it.

Plans to lower the Civic in the future?

 

Lol at the 4x4 civic

 

Lucky! lol nice SRT and those rims look nice on the civic

 

hey yea i painted the calibers silver. i definitly need to take off the drums and paint them for sure. i should have painted them before i put them on but they looked so good new. now i regret it lol. and no i dont plan on lowering my civic.
what coler would look better for the drums with my rims. silver caliber paint or regular black spraypaint??
