I am looking into getting wheels for my 95 civic 4dr and i was wondering what wheel size is too big or too small. I was thinking about getting the 17" Konig Tantrums and wanted some opinions and also, what kind of tires should i get?

 

16" are too big for any honda/acura

 

yup...

 

Well 17 is too big for track use aka, autocross, drag, road coarse. But some 17's look pretty good just so long as they are not "bling bling" IMO

 

17" konig tantrums? im speaking for everyone else, those rims are tight!!

 

nah. 17" are too big, 16" are just fine

 

 

As for tires, what will the car be used for? Autox, drag,etc

 

I have 17" Racing Hart Cp-8's on my 98 coupe and I think they look good, I always get complemented on them, though it is just a street car.

if your talking about for track use I'd stay with 15's. daily driver or looks id get 16's or 17's. 18+ is way too big.

 

thanks for all the input, i've decided that 16's will be my choice, in the konig tantrum or the verdicts (why do there have to be so many kick *** wheels to pick from dammit ) plus.... i'm working on swaping a b16a2 engine in my car (once i get some cash) then.......... (a billion other things)

 

imo the verdicts look awesome in 17 but if ur going 16 go for the tantrum's

 

I reccomend 16s if you want looks and a good ride. Theyre rougher than 15s but definitely not as rough as 17's

 

but 17's look a WHOLE lot better
if u got good suspension u can pull off 17's


them's fightin words

 

Good suspension doesnt make up for the fact that you've got 1/2 inch of tire. You hit a bump and you're going to feel it.

 

17 is too big for performance or street use althought it looks good
15 is too small for look, but it's good for performance
16 is good for LOOK and good for performance although LOOK is not better than 17, and performance is not better than 15

this explains all 16 !
