Ok I am finishing up the exterior of my car and its all jdm. I am looking for wheels next after the suspension is finished before I start my motor. But my question is I lowered my car 1" all the way around and looking to put a nice clean set of wheels on the car, but I dont know the best size tire. Cause I am putting 5Zigen FN01rc wheels on the car but the tire is what is getting me, cause I want there to be a good amount of rubber on the tire and definately no low profile tires but I dont want them to rubber anyone got any advice. I have searched and can't find anything that is really that helpful thanks.

 

get 50 pro or 45 pro

xxx/50/16
width/pro/diameter

id go with 50 or 45's tho

 

ok thanks

 

use the tire size calculator (just goggle it its like the first or second link) you enter your stock size and what size you want to get (i think a 205/45r16 or a 205/40r16 if you have a 5th or 6th gen civic) it will calculate the diameter difference between the two, its recommended you stay within 3% of the stock diameter

 

All the links, calculators, recommended tires sizes, all sorts of other info are all neatly written down in the FAQ sticked at the top. Please read it.

 

It depends on what year your Civic is, and may also depend on what version (hatch, sedan, coupe as well as EX, LX, DX). If you'd like to let us know that information, we'll be happy to tell you which 16" size is best.

 

its a 00 civic si, that is lowered approx. 1" all the way around.

Get 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 tires. Most tires come in one size or the other, not both, so decide on what tire you want, and then get whichever of these two sizes it's available in. Good choices include (a) if you want the best traction on dry pavement and you don't care about short treadlife or so-so traction in rain, the Falken Azenis RT-615 in 215/45-16; (b) if you want excellent traction on both dry and wet pavement and reasonably long treadlife, and you're willing to pay a little more for better performance, the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 in 205/45-16; or (c) if you want pretty good traction on both dry and wet pavement and reasonably long treadlife, but you're willing to sacrifice a little bit of performance for a lower purchase price, the Kumho SPT or Fuzion ZRi in 205/45-16.

 

thanks for the info man appreciate it
