205/50-16 is a good size for certain years and models of Accord and Prelude. It's a terrible size for a '92-95 Civic, and you can expect it to rub on the wheel wells and fenders. If you want to use 16" wheels on a '92-95 Civic, sell those tires and buy a set of 205/40-16.

if you want to stay with your 15 then you can get some 45 series with proxes 4 (toyo) 205/45r15 but if you are going to go 3' low then you want a 35 series with the 16.205/50r16 they will rub alot so it depends on that you go with..I bought some 205/45r15 from work and they look really nice with a 15' wheel. and i have a 2.25' drop.

The Toyo Proxes 4 is crap.

If you're interested in recommendations for the best tires for your car, tell us how you plan to use them (daily driving vs autocross/track, warm weather and rain vs snow, etc) and we'll be happy to recommend a GOOD tire for your needs.

i have a question --

i have a 2000 ek and i'm going with a whole new set up.

i'm going with gsr sunflowers, ksport coilovers, and i currently have skunk 2 front/rear camber kit.

what tire size should i go with 205/50/15 all around or 205/50's in the front and 205/55's in the rear.

i want to get a nose-dive look but get the fenders low enough where it's at the top of the tire -- your input would really help. thanks guys
