Default 96 Honda Civic Hatch, why so high!?

Got this here hatch, is this stock height? I know of a hatch, same model, and its stock but is lower...less gap between the fenders and the tires. Mine has 195/60r15s but this looks like it was lifted or is this stock? haha

stock is 14/60. those are 7th gen steelies/hubs. youd need 15/55 or 15/50 tires.

Your not going to lower the car by getting bigger tires... if you want to make your car lower i would say upgrade your stock stuts and springs...by changing the tires your just making the wheel gap smaller...

He was wondering why it looks higher than stock height, getting smaller tires, like he said hes going to, will return it to looking like stock height.
