I bought a set of 00 si rims recently with no tires, and would like to know what size tires would fit the rims best. Car is 96 civic ex lowered on agx/sportline.

 

195/55/15

195/50/15 is nearly 1" smaller OD than stock, and so will throw off your spedometer, fu<U></U>ck with your effective gearing, and look undersized/stupid

No. 215/50-15 will rub. Also, the only tires available in that size are really crappy, and won't perform as well as good tires in 195/55-15 or 205/50-15.

205/50-15 FOR SURE.

 

205/50/15's would fit perfect bro...i've got Si's also and i'm running 205/50/15's.

 

195/55/15 or 205/50-15

Yeah... 205/50 is typically cheaper than 195/55. 195/50 is almost retarded IMO.

Often, but not always. For example, the popular Yokohama ES100 is a notable exception.
