Default ..... Will 205-70-14 tires fit on civic & HX rims

I found a good deal on some BFGoodrich touring TA 205/70/14

I wanted to know if they would fit on civic HX rims. This is just for my daily driver civic EK sedan... alll stock no drop.

also can you even fit them on HX rims since the tires are 205?

anyone ever have that size on a civic?
does it look way too tall? lol

Absolutely.

Wrong.

Stock tires 185/65-14 have an outer diameter of 23.47 inches. 205/70-14 has an outer diameter of 25.30 inches, almost 8 percent bigger than stock. That's HUGE. Plus, the extra 20 mm of width makes it even more likely to rub. Don't even bother measuring.

Stick with 185/65-14, or you can also use 195/60-14 if you want.
