Default Tire For Si Rim

Well im lowering my car on my stock Civic Si rims w/ Buddy Club N+. Im wanting to tuck a little bit of tire but not a whole lot. My question is what size tire should I go with? 205/45-15, 195/55-15 etc.. I would like to get away with the less amount of rubbing possible..

Ive read that the 205's are to wide and then ive read that i would be fine. So i just need a straight aswer.

Thanks..

Oh and btw ive searched but the search hasnt been working at all

go with 195/55/15 they clear the fenders, witch 205/45/15 will hit your fenders when you turn.

^ How low are you? Is the reason that you would get the 195's because you need extra clearence?

And those are the 205 correct? It looks good but like you id opt for the 195 next time for a litle smaller tire.

Oh btw nice hatch you have..

Wow, I can't believe people are all giving the wrong answer without enough information to know what the right answer is!

Stickied at the top of this forum is a topic:

It says:

What size tires should I get?

The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using. So if you want to ask what size you should get, let us know what kind of car you have (year, model, body style, version)!


For a CRX, del sol, or pre-'96 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

13" - 175/70-13
14" - 185/60-14, 195/55-14
15" - 195/50-15
16" - 205/40-16, 195/45-16

For an Integra or '97-00 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

14" - 185/65-14, 195/60-14
15" - 195/55/15, 205/50-15
16" - 205/45-16, 215/45-16, 195/50-16
17" - 205/40/17

That was so much info, that I could hardly process it all.. :bowdown:

I kinda knew the stock tire size. It was more toward people lowered on stock si rims like the hatch above to see about rubbing issues with tire size.
