Like so (225/50/15 up front, and 205/45/16 for a full DD set):

All the tires your listing are normal street tires. If you are looking for a drag tire you need to find a drag radial. One that has compounds and sidewalls designed for drag racing.

boostincoupe, do you have any problems with rubbing in the frontend with that wheel and tire setup? are both wheels 7 inches wide? and how much are you lowered? I love the stance of your civic.

i run falken azenis and they work ok for the street adn track. 200 tread wear and still some pretty good wet whether traction for the rain as long as you have tread. the side walls are reinforced so they don't flex that much under hard cornering whilel on the street. i run a 2.24 60ft in a stock y8 with them

Thanks man. To answer your questions...
- It rubs BARELY at full lock (when making a U-Turn, for example)
- They're 15x6.5" wheels up front
- I'm running H&R Sport springs with Tokico Blue shocks. it's lowered ~ 1.75" up front, and 1.5" in the rear
