So, I've recently purchased a 82 civic :D yay! but being it so tough to find inexpensive 12 inch tires out there I'm thinking of an upgrade! but what size can I fit without really adjusting anything? I'm currently looking at 13's right now but will 14's work out for me? I'll have pictures up soon if i have time =]

 

I've got a set of 14" EG steelies that are on my 81 while I'm working on it and they have plenty of room. Seems like the smaller the tires are, the more expensive they are for cars. I guess they tend not to wear out.

 

thanks for the reply! i have more options now :D

 

Your 82 came with 12" rims? I didn't think 2nd Gens had 12 inchers. Anyhow, a lot of VW and new hondas will work on your car. Your bolt pattern is 4x100 which is very common.

Any pics of the car as it is?

 

Over weekend I was looking on '82 Civic which I consider to purchase; it has 14" BMW e30 bottlecaps on it.

Looks not bad IMO, and you can find them really cheap.

I think the bottlecaps look awesome on a second gen...was considering the same rims on my wagon at one point.

 

really nice! i picked up an american racing 13inch wheel set on CL which looks pretty nice considering i spent 50 bux for the set :D unfortunately i can't fit the honda caps since the hole is too big =/. i will put up pictures when i exceed 5 posts ;p
