<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by bakerboy0642 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">1. The stock tire size on my honda 15" 5 spoke rims is i believe 195/60/15, i hear tons about 205/55/16 but I was wondering whats the best option for my 15's, should I go for a sidewall a little bit less tall? I'm probably getting some tein s-tech springs soon which is about a 1.4" drop so put that as a factor for sidewall height too. my road conditions arent that bad, so should i get shorter tires or what.

2. I remember reading somewhere that there is a idle "relearning" procedure for our cars, I keep getting the EVAP check engine light ever since I put on my intake like 3 months ago, and everytime I clear it it just comes back on after a little while. I think I can fix it by letting the car relearn the air/gas mixture so if anyone knows anything about like this relearning procedure let me know or if there is a way to let our ecu know that its getting a different air/fuel mixture.

now for the accident:
so I got rear ended by a 1995 jetta the other day. i was completely stopped at a stoplight, and this dude slammed on his brakes and seriously probably hit me at like 20-25 mph. I flew forward out of my seat and it was loud right. so i get out of my car and go look and his car is wrecked lol. i have like a tiny scratch on my bumper from his license plate, and NOTHING is out of alignment or anything, like my car was perfect. i cracked his radiator, bent his fenders, ruined his bumper, and ruined his grill. lol. civic &gt; jetta</TD></TR></TABLE>

1. 205/55/16's are too tall, the best option would be 215/50/16's. As for 15" wheels, it would be 205/55/15's.

2. I would just get rid of the CAI, since it's really not doing much anyways, besides causing problems.

3. Was there a question over the accident?
