Default Your experiences running 205's on 15" rims on an EG

Has anyone ran a 15" wheel with 205's on an EG? The wheels im looking at are 15x6.5 +38 and im wondering if they will rub real bad. The car (eg hatch) will be lowered.

You don't state an aspect ratio, but I assume you're referring to 205/50-15 tires. That size doesn't usually rub on a '92-95 Civic, although the chances of rubbing are increased with a lowered car and depend on how much you've lowered it.

The best 15" tire size for your car is 195/50-15. My suggestion is this. If you haven't bought tires for the wheels, get 195/50-15. If the wheels come with 205/50-15 tires already, buy them only if the price makes them worth it even if you don't use the tires. That way, you can get them with the tires, and try them out. If the tires rub and you can't use them, you're really not out anything, and you can buy 195/50-15 tires for them. And if they don't rub, you're that much farther ahead on the deal, so you can use them until you need to replace them, and then get 195/50-15 at that time.
