whats up ......... i drive a 95 civic coupe and i just bought 15" rims and they have 195 60 15 tires , i am going out some time this week to buy lowering springs , i want a 2.25 " drop ( nothing higher ) i just wanted to know if my tires will rub when i turn . $ is tight so i dont wanna go out and buy smaller tires for the front , if it rubs just when i do u-turns thats fine with me but if it rubs all the time i dont want that ............. can somebody tell me if im gonna be fine or some thing else i can do to still get the overall look im going for my car ....
thanks

 

Your tires will be huge.

I ran a 195/60/15 for a little and rubed on sharp turns and that was at stock height.

The offset of your wheels will come into play also.

 

if this guy said he rubed on stock hight then im gonna have to buy new tires ........... so whats the bigest tires i can buy 55's or 50's ?

 

195/55 205/50 or even 195/50

How low do you plan on dropping the car.

 

2.25"

 

2" is the highest ill go

 

stick with 195/50/15

with a 2.25 drop it wont rub & it wont throw off ur speedometer

 

you think it would look bad if i keep 60 series tires in the back and put 50 series in the front ?

 

Terrible.

BTW if you went with the 205/50/15, it wouldn't throw your speedo off much.

Take the Kumho 711 for example.

The o.d. of the 195/50 is 22.7" while the 205/50 is only .4" more. The 205" is also about .5" wider.

 

yeah u can get away with 205/50/15 with that drop

but definately stick to 195/50/15 or 205/50/15

 

my friend gots a 94 civic si hatch and the back rubs a lot when he make the slightist turns but he got 17"s

 

hatch + 17's = garbage i have 17's (but no rub FTW) and hate them!!! im savin to buy some 15 rota gt3's or circuit 10's havent decided yet
