As the title states, i want to fit the fattest tire possible on my hx's, does anyone know for sure if a 205/60/14 street tire will fit onto the HX? Falken Ziex 512 has that tire size still available on discounttiredirect, so does anyone know from personal experience or in anyway if a 205/60/14 STREET tire will fit the HX rim? Thank you very much for info!

 

205/60 is a tad tall what car is this for? on the smaller side bfg makes a 205/50r14 drag radial that fit on hxs quite nicely however id recommend those for track use only...go to the tire mfgs or distributors website and see what rim widths the tire is approved for...i belive hxs are 14x6

 

Car is an EG Hatch. I have 195/60/14 on the HX's now, but the street tire i'm lookin at the shortest height they have for a 205 on a 14" is 60 so I don't mind it much though, the heighth that is

 

If you do some research some wider tires occomodate smaller wheels. I forget which though :x.

 

I believe HX rims are 14x5.5.

185/60-14 is the best matching size for your '92-95 Civic. And it doesn't have the downsides of oversize tires, such as poorer acceleration, throwing off the accuracy of the speedometer and odometer, and the possibility of rubbing in the wheel wells.

Remember, the biggest factor in performance is the design of the tire, not the treadwidth. So if you want better performance, you're better off concentrating on getting better, stickier tires, rather than wider tires. For example, in moderate to warm temperatures (i.e. excluding driving in snowy winter conditions), the Yokohama ES100 summer tire in 185/60-14 will give you much better traction than the crappy Falken Ziex ZE-512 all-season tire in 205/60-14.
