Tires question
What happens to your performance and handling when you have tires on rims with a too small of an aspect ratio? What would you recommend running on a Civic Ex 00 with 16x7?

Re: Tires question (crazy_ham)
-low profile tires that are too small will throw the speedo off a little
-ill handling can occur as too low of profile can mean that not enough weight rating is present to be used on a car of ceratin weight (too long to explain)
-damage to wheels will occur easier then with higher profile
-on the plus side quicker accelaration, due to FD change
tires such as will work very well on the Civic:
205/45-16
215/45-16
