If i were to put 16 inch wheels on a EG civic, what tire size should i be using? Original size that came with the car is 185/60/14

215/40/16 or
205/45/16 or
205/40/16

Thank You

 

I would probably go with the 205/45's myself. Nitto NT450 has a lot of applications and 300+ treadwear.

is your ride lowered?

how much if so?

 

My car is slammed! I am using Apexi N1 Coilovers and is pretty low. But i can always increase my ride height.

 

If you don't mind me asking who did you get the Apex'i N1's from.

 

I bought them off a guy in Toronto....they were brand new in box. Had them since beginning of April.....why do you ask?

 

If you plan on going with 16s, I would recommend you go with wheels that are 16" by 7" or at least 6.5". If you and go with 205/40 in front, and 195/40 rear.

Nitto tires are POS. Other than about the price, I've never heard anything good about them. I recommend you go with Falken Azenis. These tires are not that much more expensive -if that- than the nittos but they offer a lot better traction and if you're into looks, they look like slicks with little tread.

I had 215/40 16's on my crx, they fit fine. But, somewhere I read that the wheel wells are smaller on the '92+civics(don't quote me on that). I've got 205/40 17 on my eg, and it's quite low. Not much of a problem w/ enough camber(it's set up for circuit).
