I have a 98 civic EX, me and bf are in the process of painting them and im eventually going to buy them... they are 15/8 inches and i was wondering what are the best size tires to fit on them without rubbing... him and i were thinking 205's but i thought id ask yal too... thanks in advance

Get some Yokohama AVS ES100 tires (205/50x15)

 

15x8??? whoa!!!

I think you mean 15x6.5.....205 are fine.....I'm using Nitto 450 tires...azenis rock but wear quick....if its 15x8 I'm guessing 215??

If they are 15x8 wheels, then it wont matter what tire you put on the car. The wheel will determine whether it rubs or not! I would say, just don't lower the car, and you wont have to worry about rubbing. I have 17x7 with 205/40R17's, and had the front lips rolled and I still have a slight rub sometimes with the 2 - 2 1/4" drop.

 

yah i promise they are 15x8 not 15x6.5... sorry if my english aint good nuf.. oh well thanks fer the help

15 x 8 is pretty wide...what kind of wheels are they...and i would say a 225/50/15

 

HOLY **** 15x8.......damn........reminds me of the old still spaced out wheels on the older cars "vatos" be rolling around in!! wOOt!! lol jk.....try to post some pics....I've never seen a 15x8in wheel....

 

Okie here's a pic of my bling bling wheels...sorry for the med-quality pic...





there yah go

 

What you need is some BFgoodrich scorchers.



I'd go with yellow, personally

 

that' not 8", that's 7" wide rim, you have to mesure in between the walls, I have 17x8 wheels and if I'd put a tape messure to same place on my wheels as you did on yours, it would show 9 something inches. your's are 15x7 so you need 205 or 215 tire.
i,m running 215 tire and the sidewalls are at very steep angle, this wheel would require 235 to have straight sidewalls - oh yeah, btw - no rubbing issues.

 

is that the new <FONT SIZE="medium">SLIPS</FONT> w/ Polsihed Lip?..........LOL

good info about the square sidewall, but they ARE 8"wide. She put the tape measure there to show that they are more than 8"wide. in between the lips is a total of 8". If you still don't believe me (us), (we) can take another pic closer up with a bright yellow type R tape measurer.

youre just jealous of her 15X8 wheels that look cool!

</TD></TR></TABLE>buhahaha, those look like the rims and tires that were on the delorean in Back to the Future 3

 

if the car is dump'd the way we do it, no way would 15x 8's clear the fender. i don't even think with rolling the fenders. x8 is jus too way wide...never heard of anything that wide on honda application before. u might want to remeasure. i know 7.5 barely clears and thats not even dump'd, riding off-road style. well, actually scratch that it might depending on the offset. what offset is it?

anyways, personally...azenis are the best bang for the buck. but, i also like bfg street tires. really really sticky compound for the street. i would not go with nitto...they are crap. jus my 2 cents.

 

depending on the offset i doubt those wheels will even fit on the car.

 

is there a way to easily measure the off set b/c i don't know what the actual off set is. But it ain't no deep dish or anything...

 

my guess is that it hits the fender or suspension.... good luck, but i think they are ugly anyways

 

Well im gonna try em anyways prolly with 215's just cause im stubborn if they fit then ha! and if they dont then most of yal were right. I like them alot and they are inexpensive so im goin for it...thanks fer all the opinions

also what b16_madman said... how do yah measure offset?

 

those look like they might be for a 92 nissan pickup or something...you gotta have like an all terrain on there....someone is going for the stunna slipstream look! NICE!SICK WHEELS!

 

well i have 215 on my 16x7.5 rims

 

tires are too expensive to "try" the the wheels out with IMO. just chuck 'em in the dumpster where they came from and call rota.

 

15x8.5 is kinda big id say with my experience at a rim shop the smallest tire that might fit would be a 215 might fit but the 225 will fit for sure but will give you rubbbing problems on the car i say try sellin the wheels and get the 15x6.5
