2000 civic si wheel question
I'm about to buy a set of xxr 002 15x9 "0" with falken 512 195/50/15. Would these fit on my car without modification. If so, would they look stupid? My car is not lowered or anything. Thanks in advance.

From the Forum Rules and FAQ:
Key things you may want to note:
1. The widest wheel with the lowest offset you can fit on your car (without modifying the car to improve wheel/tire clearance) is a 15x7 +35. Your wheel choice is simply not feasible, safely.
2. The widest wheel a 195/50/15 is rated for is a 7" wide wheel. Your tire size is WAY too small for the wheel width you were requesting about.
3. This forum does not condone opinion-related topics (as noted in the rules).
10. Do not ask about "stretching" tires onto wheels that are too wide.
All such topics will be locked. Tire manufacturers determine the wheel widths onto which each model and size tire can be mounted safely, and you can find the range of these wheel widths in the specs on their websites as well as those of retailers like the Tire Rack. Mounting tires onto wheels outside this range of approved wheel widths is unsafe because it can, and often does, result in the buildup of excessive stress and heat in the tire sidewalls, which can lead to the tire "popping the bead" and/or tire failure. Make sure your tires are mounted on wheels whose widths are within the approved range.
