Hello..
I have a 97 civic ex coupe. Ive dropped it on skunk2 springs and also have blox cambers..
Im interested in getting new wheels and tires. Im stuck between 195/50 or 195/55 also if i should get 15x6.5 or 15x7 wheels. I am deff dumb founded on the wheel offset, that's my biggest problem!
What are the pros and cons?
Deff do not want the thick/chunky tire nor do i want it too stretched..
I like the low dropped look but i also dont want any rubbing or complications, that's why i am considering 195/50
HELP!! lol

195/50/15 is outside the safe range of tire sizes for the chassis. 195/55/15 is closest to the factory size. You can run a 15x7 +32 wheel without having to modify the car's sheetmetal, to get the tires to clear.

 

205/50 is a popular size for 15x7 wheels. Anything from +35 to +45 will sit well in the wheel wells.

 

Thanks guys!
Would be nice but im not too crazy about the wide tire look..
So a 195 55 15 +32 or up offset, would sit well and keep my tires from rubbing?

 

Correct. You shouldn't have any rubbing with a 7" wheel, 195/55 tires and +32 and up offset.
