The best size depends on which car they're going on.

I agree, either size will work fine on your '00 Civic.

On a del sol (like your brother-in-law's), as well as on pre-'96 Civics, 195/50-15 is the best size.

The gsr wheels were called the fat fives first i believe. The delsol fat fives are uglyyyy... Anyway, Lose the motegis, you shouldnt be rockin 17 wheels, especially motegis for that matter, in a 2000 civic. Just ain't right. IMO. Fat fives will look great. I loved em on my 98 hatch. So make the switch ASAP.
