Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. My girlfriend has an 08 civic lx....very nice car.

I'm in the process of researching winter tire and wheel options. I want to get a dedicated set of winter wheels for the car. Stock tire size is 205/55/16.

I want to go down to a 195/65/15. Tires are much cheaper and the narrower width will really help here in Central New York.

My Question is where can i find some cheap steelies? Whats the proper backspacing? How bout the offset? The bolt pattern is 5 on 114 correct?

For some reason tirerack does not carry a 15" steelie for this car? Are there any clearence problems going down to 15"???

Let me know your thoughts,

Thanks in advance!
Nick

 

no clearance issues but why? the lx already comes with steelies. and why are you modding your girlfriends car? spend your money on your own car.

 

We bought steelies at the dealer for cheaper then anywhere else in town.
