Default 95 EX Swap to 15 in wheels

Tried search but couldn't find anything, want to upgrade my 95 ej to 15 in wheels wondering what i would have to change. Is suspension any different and do 15 's clear the wheel wells etc? I know the speedo will need so changing. Thanks

There are several 4-lug Honda/Acura OEM wheels that are 15" and bolt straight up to your car. You don't have to mess with the speedometer as long as you get lower profile tires and your final overall diameter matches the one of your original 14s with OEM tires. Search around and you'll find plenty of plug and play solutions.

Good luck,

-Walter

we are all thinking that. you can use 13"-16" without any major issues. you can run bigger, but that will cause rubbing.

15" wheel (normally 38-42mm offset) for your car with 195/50R15 tires, now you know for sure

You can even run 15 inch rims with 205/50/15 tires. The overall diameter is very slightly smaller than oem, so your speedo with run about 5 mph faster at freeway speeds. The upside is you get a wider contact patch for better grip. 195/55/15 will give you an oem diameter. I believe that is the stock tire size of the 99-00 Civic Si.
