What size should I go for next change?
Well as some of you know I'm getting my car dropped on wednesday (4/30/08). I didn't
get to get the Tokico Dspecs and rear camber kit (personal dilemma). But don't worry
those are coming up soon.. I got GC coilover sleeves from NoLimitMotorsports. Very
fast shipping!!
But anyways enuff about that.
My question is what tire size should I go for on next tire change?
Right now I run 185/65/15 Fuzion Hri tires. IMO I think the tire is tall.
What would look best on my car with a finger gap all the way around?
My two top picks are 195/50/15 or 195/60/15..
PS: I'm still on the 03EX/Si rims..

Wow, that's really, REALLY bad advice.
That size is MUCH too small for an '03 Civic. Heck, that's the size that '95 and older Civics use! Honda increased the tire size on the '97-00 Civics and then again in '01.
Even 195/55-15 is TOO SMALL for your car; that size is for the '97-00 Civics.
For an '03 Civic, get 195/60-15 or 205/60-15.
And you should buy the right tire size because that's what your car's body and wheel wells and suspension geometry are designed for; don't buy it for looks. If you want the car to have less wheel gap, the proper way to do it is by using the suspension (usually springs) to lower it, not by buying the wrong size tires.
As for prices, they tend to be a function of demand; prices tend to be less for sizes which are very popular.
