Default whats your rim size?

How big are your rims?
The inch difference for me is the difference between a clear entry into the garage versus a entry into the garage with the exhaust scraping the floor.

17x11 rear and 16x9 front

get your exhaust tucked up or keep a lil piece of ply wood...i know your not that low. your gonna have to tuck that exhaust homie. i had mine redone a couple times. pull the axle back down and massage the hangers to get it to tuck up more.

dam homie...i couldn't imagine having a driveway from hell. my drive is flat for the most part but i even have a hard time pulling in over the transition.

you may be able to get away with just changing tire size accordingly

Stock sizes ranged from 14-15", with Honda optional wheels being 15" and 16".

I run 16" wheels.

yeah, i could live with the exhaust scraping, but i figure since i need to replace the old tires i might as well go back to the 16's
i just cant lower to car too much if i wanna hang on the the garage space

For tire sizing, you should use a tire sizing calculator.

Much like this one: http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp
