I have a 1995 Honda Civic Ex lower 2.25 front and 2 in the rear. I got a set of G-Racing Kyoto rims 17x7's and I was cuious what size tire would work better. I'm trying to keep from spending too much on tires since i just replaced the tires on the car in November and going to keep them as extra set. THey are 15's so they wont work on the other rims.

 

bumping my post.. any ideas?

 

Well, I wouldn't get 17" rims for that car, because you can't get tires in a good size to match that car. Even the smallest 17" tires commonly available, 205/40-17, are 3.6 percent bigger in diameter than the stock tires for that car. That's a huge difference. And on a lowered car, they're almost guaranteed to rub.

My recommendation is to go back to 15" (with 195/50-15 tires) or get 16" (with 205/40-16 or 195/45-16 tires).
