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:


16" - 205/40-16, 195/45-16

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

16" - 205/45-16 would be the best size but 215/45-16 will work also but only if your car isnt too low and if the wheel offsets aren't too low.

that car looks borderline to use the tire size it should have. 205 40 16 is also close to the height you are now rolling. 205 45 16 is the correct size for that car but i would wonder about rubbing since you insist on rolling so low.

I'm thinking of rolling the fenders to eliminate the rubbing issue
