I bought my flawless set for $280 while the dude put them up for $300 in craigslist. However, **** didn't fit on my EX cuz the front calipers didn't clear. Waiting for my 5mm spacers to come in. Also, they came with a set of almost new Sumitomo tires running 195/14/55. Took me a while to find a clean set though, usually people post up their painted sets which just to me won't sell unless people are running their color scheme.

Things you should consider, if you own a EX or a Si and they have ABS, the front calipers should be bigger than the non-ABS models. While the back fits perfectly on both drum and disc, the front rim will not clear the caliper bracket. There is tutorials on shaving the brackets a little but I don't recommend that.

This applies to 96-00 Civic, not sure about the 92-95 ones.

The EX and Si models have bigger brake disks and there for won't fit a 13" wheel, I don't think they will even fit with 5mm spacers but not 100% sure on that. Apply's for the 92 - 00 civic's

tirerack lists only two different 195/55/14's and both are track tires, for more choices you could do 195/60/14 which is a little wider but pretty much the same height as the stock 185/65/14
