First, there's no such thing as a 2001 Civic Si. So you're talking about the 15x6 wheels used on the '99-00 Civic Si.

Yes, they can be mounted on those rims. Falken approves the 205/50-15 RT-615 for mounting on rims 5.5-7.5 inches wide.

I don't know if the offset or spoke design of this rim will work on your car.

If this is for autocross or track use, the RT-615 in 205/50-15 is an excellent choice. For a daily driving street tire, 205/50-15 in general, and the RT-615 in this size in particular, are a bit big for your car; it will throw off your speedometer and odometer, and make your car accelerate slower (like using taller gears). For these reasons, 195/50-15 is usually a better size for a CRX for street use.

Common wheel/tire choice.

They will fit just fine and look pretty good as well.

what is the off set on these wheels anyway. ideal off set for my car is 38-40 right? i know these tires are too wide for my car. i had 195/50/15 bridgestones re-01r on my slipstreams but got stolen . this is for autocrossing i need new rims and tires fast so i was just going to pick up these si wheels from a friend and pick up some falkens down the street from my dealership. do you think this wheel and tire set up would be alright cause i think it will definetly be better then my dd wheels and tires es100 195/50/15s
