Aftermarket for everything i guess.

Anyone put ls mesh on a stock height (not lowered) ef hatch? The ones Im looking at have 195/55/15 tires on them. I see alot of people say they have 205/50/15 or 195/50/15 but always on lowered civics.

the 55 size is just a bit taller tire. if your not lowered its not a problem. usually 55s are too tall and rub the **** out of the inside of the frame and the fender. that why people usually run the 50 series.
