Default Tire Size and Deep Dish on Del Sol

I'm assuming the largest tire size is 18x7.5 for stock, so what would the largest size be if I got fender flares... Secondly, what is the deepish dish I could get on a Del Sol? Thanks a lot.

holy ****. 18x7.5 on a del Sol?

for your question, largest tire size would probably be 215/40/18 or 215/35/18.

that's wayyy too damn big for a del Sol if you ask me though, but to each his own.

Oops, I meant the largest Rim Size... Anyway, if I got fender flares, what would you think? 18 x 8.5? Also, does anyone know the deepish dish I could find?

18x8.5?? dayamm. that motor won't even spin that 30 lb rim. good luck turning too.

I think you're looking at the wrong forum for that information man.

I used to have 17's about a year ago, it didn't bother me. But damn car was way too high even with a 1.75" drop.

the ideal/best size for 5th and 6th's gen civics/del sol's would be 16x7 and 15's as well.

but more power to ya for the original look.

you go any deeper than 7.5, you'll rub. If you put flares on, I dunno, test and fit I guess, an inch more maybe....either way...you'll rub...
