I really like the drag DR-18 wheels and I can only find them with 7.5" width. I plan to wrap them in 205/40/r17 kumho spt tires. Will this setup fit and perform good on my h22 powered 95 civic coupe? Thanks in advance

 

wheres the wheel and tire gurus at? anybody runnin this setup?

At the track, of course.

I wouldn't get wheels that big for a '95 Civic, even a high-horsepower application. The problem is that the smallest tires available for 17" are 205/40-17, which is a lot bigger in diameter than your stock tires, and that means poorer acceleration, possible rubbing, speedometer/odometer inaccuracy, etc.

I would stick with 16x7 wheels, then slap on some Falken Azenis RT-615 in 205/40-16, which is perfect for your car.

 

thanks for the advice man. so I take it, 1in makes a big difference on performance. I just know the 17's will fill out better considering the bodykit and 1in drop
